A California man and his son were greeted by a saxophone quartet today (6-28-21) after touching down at Rocky Gutierrez airport. Daniel Fluss and his son traveled to Alaska to complete Fluss’s dream of visiting all 50 states.
“My boy asked me ‘what happens when you get to the 50th state?’ I told him, a band plays and you get a medal,” he said jokingly.
