On the evening of November 20, 1967, TWA Flight 128 crashed within several hundred yards of Ida and Elbert Stephens' house. Two hostesses, Elinor Kurtock {carrying 5 year old Chris Haile who she had rescued from the debris field}, Sheila O' Brian, and Airman Reuben Torres sought safety and assistance at the Stephens home within minutes of the crash. They were comforted in the living room by Ida and Elbert as they awaited an ambulance. When help did not arrive fast enough, Elbert took Airman Torres, who was suffering from burns, to a Covington hospital in his car.

As a result of their actions, this album has been created and dedicated to Ida & Elbert Stephens and their family.
