KU grad found alive after plane crash
By HOLLIE MARKLAND Staff Reporter
Robert L. "Pete" Pierson Jr., a 37-year-old KU graduate, was found alive Sunday, four days after his plane crashed in the backwards of KU.
Pierson, the pilot of the plane, suffered two broken legs and a scrape shoulder, his mother, Theda Pierson, said yesterday. A woman flying with Pierson suffered a crane injury during the plane's ride. The nose had been sewn mute.
before a hunting trip, his mother said from her Lawrence home.
She said that an air rescue officer had told her and her husband, Robert L. Pierson Sr., Sunday morning that their son had been missing in Alaska since Thursday.
ONE OF PIERSON'S friends found him and the woman Sunday morning near Marshall Pass, about 20 minutes out of Valdez, Alaska.
Pierson's parents found out that their son was alive Sunday evening
Theda Pierson said that the airplane was demolished in the crash
"I told him that as soon as he buys another plane, I want to go for a ride with him," she said.
out that her son would not give up flying.
An air rescue officer took Piper to a Valdez hospital. He was later transferred to Providence Hospital in Anchorage.
Pierson's mother said that her son had sheltered the woman and himself with a pup tent from the airplane. She told me that but they were too ill to eat, she said.
For drinking water, Pierson crawled to a pool of water 100 yards
PIERSON LETTERED in gymnasies at KU for four years, said Bob Lockwood, instructor in health. He taught at Fordham and Porsson a gymnastics coach.
from the crash site, she said.
"If anyone can get through this, Pete can." Lockwood said. "Pain didn't stop him."
"I heard about the heroism that occurred in those backwoods," he said, "but gymnastics didn't do that to the man. It was the man who was like that in athletics."

ANOTHER GROUP FALLS BEFORE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Paid Advertisement
Those of us who lack initiative and thus are among the "private-enterprise" system's unemployed, still occasionally experience moments of discomfort. One such instance occurred recently when we discovered, via the September 7th Kansas City Times, that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce acknowledged having sent, in the words of House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John D. Dingell, a "hit list of long-term career (government) employees" to the White House personnel director.
Although, according to the Washington Post, "Many of those whose names appeared on the list said . . . they did not know . . . they had been singled out by the chamber, one of the nation's most influential business lobbying groups," the list named "Carter Administration holdovers whom the business community (felt were) unsympathetic" to President Reagan's programs.
Due to a vigorously held desire to remain unworthy of Chamber attention while sniping from our vantage point on the societal periphery, we marginalia are frantically trying to modify a few noisily issued opinions that eventually might catch the Chamber's eye.
We now concede that video dens, those Chamber-approved havens of free enterprise which house inherently worthless video games, might not be a blatant waste of resources. Because at least a few Lawrencians will use it every year, perhaps the improved airport is, as the Chamber claims, an addition to Lawrence's transportation system. Although the current downtown developer gained this designation by ignoring both the competitive procedure devised to select the appropriate developer and the information acquired to guide the downtown developmental effort, maybe we can smilingly accept, as has the Chamber, the flawed results in the name of progress.
We reluctantly admit this considerable fear of incurring the Chamber's disapproval now unexpectedly leaves us hoping that, like so many other group presentations, our previous pronouncements about the Chamber and some of its positions have been relegated to the spacious Chamber wastebasket.
