CSL Resident Sam Kloda meets Harrison Ford

Côte Saint-Luc financial advisor Sam Kloda was recently invited  by the Aero Club of Washington to attend their annual National Aeronautical Association Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy. This year it was presented to actor  Harrison Ford for  engaging the nation's youth in aviation and inspiring tomorrow's leaders, innovators and enthusiasts to secure a strong future for all of aviation.   

Sam Kloda  Ford Ford, owns and personally flies five different aircrafts. He uses a lot of his time and money to help young people become pilots.  “I met Mr. Ford and took a few photos with him,” Kloda shared with me. “ I spoke to him for a few minutes in Yiddish. He speaks a bit,  but understands more. He is a really  nice guy.

“In 1994 I started working part-time for a US organization in Washington on an aviation problem,” Sam added. “I have a Masters degree in Mathematics.  After I completed the project, I was invited to many parties. Each year I travel to Washington and other US cities to visit friends in aviation and meet new ones. I have been very fortunate to meet famous test pilots, aviation designers, astronauts and  military figures.”

Sam is the brother of prominent event coordinator Harry Kloda.
