Raymond Sykes, a Georgia firefighter, saved a pregnant woman from a smoky elevator stuck in an air traffic control tower 18 years ago. Two weeks after being rescued, Mary Mayconich-Beasley gave birth to her daughter, Malia.
For years, Malia read about Ray’s rescue in her mother’s journal and as she is now graduating high school, moving into the next phase of her life, she finally got to meet the man who helped make her arrival in the world possible.
