Henry S of Spring Hill

90 year old & legally blind Henry S of Hernando County is traveling to Chicago for what may his last time on earth with his children & grandchildren

His Travel Agent who has known Henry for many years calls Walter of Gunny's to arrange the transfers

Walter fields several calls from Henry's daughter who is very concerned about her father's condition & Walter assures her that he will be taken care of

Walter picks up Henry & upon arrival at Tampa International he gets Henry a wheelchair & makes sure all documents & I.D. are in hand & Walter ensures that the Airport Skycap knows Henry needs some TLC

Walter memorizes what Henry's luggage looks like

On the return, Walter meets Henry coming off the tram into the main terminal. Henry needs to use the mens room so Walter escorts him into there

Walter then takes Henry up to the vehicle & gets him secured & then proceeds to the baggage area to retrieve Henry's luggqge

If Walter was caught by the HCPTC on the return transfer he was providing Henry, he would of been thrown into jail 

Why?

Because Walter cannot obtain HCPTC licensing for his moderate priced mini-vans
