High-flying idea gets shot down By David Giffels Mike Filing is just a guy. He gets up and goes to work every day, to Congress Printing, the shop he owns in a Fairlawn office strip. But for a few short days recently, he threw caution to the wind and went tilting at a high-flying windmill. It started about a month ago, as Filing was driving to work from his home in Stark County, listening to the radio news. He heard a report that the Boeing Co. was planning to relocate its headquarters from Seattle.
People have ideas like that every day.
They quickly forget them. Mike Filing did not. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. The Akron area has a long, proud aviation history. Filing has a particular fascination for that history.
