Clipper Memories

crews, office workers, executives, maintenance, traffic and
sales personnel, and many others) to give him that one story
that will live in their memory forever. "Voices of My Peers,
Clipper Memories" are those stories. |

Woman Just Learns Her Son
Died on Pan Am 103. Search for child she gave up
for adoption has heartbreaking end.
Heartbreak for an Oregon woman who gave up her son for
adoption 45 years ago: She decided to track him down
after her husband's death last year, only to learn that
he was among hundreds of people killed when Pan Am
Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, a
BBC documentary finds. "270 people died in that
tragedy and one of those happened to be the only child I
ever had. And I didn’t even know it until last April,"
Carol King-Eckersley says. "So it became a kind of
double tragedy. I found him and I lost him on the same
day."
Her son, Kenneth Bissett, had been on the way home from
Syracuse University's overseas program in London. His
adoptive parents both died years after the terrorist
attack. "I'm just starting to get to know him," says the
grieving birth mother, who gave up her son at 19 to
protect the reputation of her father, a high school
principal. "In a way I'm going backwards because the
getting to know him makes it sharper, makes the regret
deeper." But she found some solace in attending a
remembrance event at Syracuse, which lost 35 students in
the attack, and in meeting friends and classmates who
could share memories of her son. "From everything I have
heard and read, he was an absolutely brilliant young man
with a marvelous sense of humor," she says.
