As Rodney boarded the plane, he looked out the window while he waited patiently for the plane to taxi down the runway to wait for their turn to take off. He was glad he had a seat by the window, he wanted to get a view of the St. Louis area one more time. The Arch, Busch Stadium, Forest Park, the bridges connecting Missouri and Illinois, and other sights that he had grown up with. Suddenly he felt chills run down his body as he thought to himself, "this could be the last time I ever see this beautiful city."
