Linda, Thank you for a wonderful story. In the past I have flown into several major airports in light aircraft and always felt the same apprehension contemplating the flight and the satisfaction of successfully completing what I had trained so hard to be able to do. During the previous discussion on Private Pilots flying as Sport Pilots entering into Class B airspace, my research identified the conflict between what the Federal Register said the FAA proposed rule would say and what the final rule ended up saying. I still don't know for sure what is legal and what is not concerning a Private Pilot and Class B airspace. My personal feeling at this point is that I probably will never want to do so. However, should doing so ever become necessary I hope to retain the necessary skills to do so including the ability to key my radio and declare an emergency which is the right of any pilot including students flying solo.
