Ted Stevens in America by Heart, by Sarah Palin

On Principles & Values: Survived 1978 plane crash that killed his first wife

As I was finishing this book, Ted Stevens, America's longest-serving Republican senator, died in a plane crash in his beloved state of Alaska. Ted was always a warrior. He had survived combat flight missions on World War II. He was one of two survivors of a 1978 plane crash in Anchorage that killed his first wife, Ann. He battled prostate cancer and won. But by the time he died at age 86, he had built a career serving the people of Alaska & was instrumental in helping build the 49th state. Source: America by Heart, by Sarah Palin, p.259 Nov 23, 2010
