	I'm searching for a story that I read several years ago, but I
don't remember its name, or the author's name.  The basic plot (as well
as I can remember) follows:

	Son is about to leave home - asks Dad about Mom who died shortly
after he was born.  Turns out Dad and Mom met when Dad crash-landed on
her previously unexplored planet.  Not only that, but everyone there had
wings, since this was a property of the atmosphere and not the people
Dad grows some too.  Mom and Dad would have lived there happily ever after
if some baddies hadn't kidnapped them to put on display (or experiment on,
or something...).  Mom and Dad escape baddies but can't find planet again.
They return to Earth, their wings shrivel up and fall off, Mom dies of a
broken heart, and Dad spends the rest of his life watching his pet hawk
fly around the yard.

	Any Ideas anyone?
