RENO, Nev. - The lone survivor of a Reno plane crash that killed 70 people on a Super Bowl junket in 1985 says he can't bring himself to attend a rededication ceremony for a memorial plaque honoring the victims on the tragedy's 30th anniversary.
Washoe County officials plan to unveil a new plaque Wednesday after the original was stolen from Rancho San Rafael Park.
Galaxy Airlines Flight 203 crashed in a field in south Reno just after 1 a.m. on Jan. 21, 1985.
Emergency crews found 17-year-old George Lamson Jr. still strapped in his seat on Virginia Street when they responded to the fiery wreckage.
Lamson told the Reno Gazette-Journal he doesn't want to be remembered as the boy who survived the accident. He wants to be remembered as the man who lived.
