1968 Old Uniform Shoes.....

If you flew in the late 60's, did you save those awful navy uniform shoes????? If you recall, they were the 'required shoe' that had the little silver buckle on it's toe and we all felt ruined our feet! If you still have a pair saved, would you consider either loaning them or donating them to the Museum of Flight? The museum is putting together a special display on "Style in the Aisle" early next year. Unfortunately, that's one item they don't have and would LOVE to have displayed with the uniform.
If you can help, please contact me or Annie Mejia at the Museum.
Thanks

Rich Villagracia's Retirement

Today was Rich Villagracia's last flight at United Airlines. He came in on UA 575 from Chicago with Susie Modica as Purser. At his request the passengers didn't know it was his retirement flight, but they sure knew when they got off.

A good group of friends and fellow Flight Attendants was waiting in the terminal with signs, leis, a "Mr. United" sash and flowers. The party continued with a nice dinner at Rich's favorite Chinese restaurant in Des Moines.

His tireless service to other Flight Attendants 24 hours a day has not gone unnoticed. His skills at dealing with everyone, from new hires to top management was second to none. He has been hired to be Inflight Manager for a large, private corporate flight department. We know he will excel.

Congratulations Rich!

MEL BROOKS

Hi Everyone!

Debi, Wendy and I all got the chance last month to go see Mel Brookes play, Young Frankenstein. It was playing at the Paramount. We met Mel at Emerald Downs on the day of the Longacres Mile and he invited us all to the show. It is now playing in NY. If you get out that way we all highly recommend seeing it! It was GREAT!

Dear Tom,

Thanks for all that you are doing to keep us connected.

2008 Calendar

KathrynFlanagan
Happy Holidays

It is that time of year, again. I am ordering Calendars for 2008. I need to know if you are interested. If you are, I also need to pre-order them.

I will not be offering prints or cards. I am just running out of time. I will be ordering the calendars in the first of November and will have them to you by the middle of November.

If you would like to be included in the Pre-Order, would you please send me $20 per calendar? Please add $2 per calendar for shipping. If I am not mailing a calendar to you, please do not add the shipping.

This is my first and last notification. If I don’t hear from you now, I totally understand that you would like to be removed from the list.

This will be my last year of Calendars. I am going to be retiring soon and want to begin painting to sell and finding Galleries that love my work as much as you have these past 10 years.

Thank you again for supporting my little passion
Christmas Kisses, Kathryn

Great News

I just have to share with everyone the great news about my son Zach, as many of you know he has been on meth for the last five years, he has been through a few treatment centers and the only one that made a big impact on him was the Christain treatment center that he left after two months even though it is a six month commitment. He called on tues and said he wanted to go back to treatment, when we took him back they welcomed him with open arms and prayed with him, they are completly full so he has to sleep on the floor with four other men, but that's ok as he is in a safe envionment. Please keep Zach in your prayers, God Bless, Julie Hamilton

Steve Flume Retires

South End Luncheon Canceled

Well, apparently we will be canceling the luncheon for tomorrow, Thursday the 18th as well.  I guess everyone's lives are busy. 

As of today, Wednesday there was only 8 people and that is simply not enough to hold the room in the back.

Perhaps, we will try for December.

Hi all from Judy Puckett

It's been a whirlwind year. They seem to go faster and faster (I now know what our parents meant). Last spring we went to Vegas with friends and to the Mariner's Spring Training in Arizona. There's a group of us (UAL) that gather and go together. Then I worked this summer again at Kenmore Airlines (the float plane company) at Lake Union. I'm sure they'll be hiring again next spring if any of you are interested! It's a very seasonal job.

In September I took off for Spain. My husband and I have traveled a lot in the past few years. We have cruised to Alaska, driven to Mexico to stay on the beach in Porto Penasco, stayed in villas in Italy, taken Barge trips in the canals of France, gone to Ireland for a friends wedding, but had never gone to Spain. I was very impressed. We spent 3 weeks touring and meeting up with our non-UAL friends. We hit Barcelona, Cordoba, Seville, spent a week at Marbella in a Villa on the Mediterranean, Granada and Madrid. We did day trips from our Villa to Gibraltar and Morocco. The only unpleasant thing that happened was it took 5 days for our luggage to catch up to us. Yes, we had a blast!

This month I am off with my UAL friends to spend a week in Maui. Next month it's Las Vegas to celebrate my twin sister's and my (big!) birthday. December it's off to Reno for a wedding.

My motto: Who know's what tomorrow may bring? Live life while you have your health. When we are older and can't travel on the long flights, we'll tour our good old US of A! Ciao! Judy Puckett

Our Trip To Yellowstone

Ken and I spent yesterday touring Yellowstone National Park. It was the first visit for each of us and we were thrilled with the beautiful scenery and all the wild animals we saw, especially the ones near the road. October is a great time to go. The weather is still good and there's very little traffic. I put together an album of some of our pictures so if you're interested, just Click Here

Hello from Carolyn George

Hi Gang,

Steve and I just returned from a few days in Seattle. You may remember Susan Murphy? Well, her Dad passed away so we went out for the funeral. I met Susan's folks back in 1970 when we first started flying and we've been in close contact ever since. It's so hard saying good-bye to a dear old friend.

We stayed with Ron and Jack, and of course received the royal treatment. We were served sushi from Honolulu and fresh scones from London. Ron even packed a lunch for us for our return flight! And what did I do in return? I almost burned their place down! I decided to have a cup of tea but didn't realize the kettle was electric (duh) so put it on the high tech glass range top and left the room. Well, 5 minutes later, the kitchen was filled with smoke along with the acrid smell of burning plastic. What a mess. I was devastated of course. You have to know Ron and Jack's place to appreciate it. It is gorgeous, drop dead gorgeous, and everything is perfect. After 2 days the smell finally left the condo and Steve worked for an hour on the stove with a razor sharp knife. Miraculously it cleaned up and I didn't have to replace anything but the tea kettle! I had nightmares about the water sprinklers going off and the smoke alarms sounding and the kitchen burning and the entire building up in flames. What a lesson I learned. Think we'll be invited back?

It was mentioned in a blog that there is an airline collectibles show at the Museum of Flight on October 13. I attended one of those shows years ago and they are really fun. If anyone goes, will you please get me a business card or web address from someone there. I have airline memorabilia that I want to sell. I'd appreciate it - thanks. You can email me with the info. carolyngeorge@aol.com

In regard to this blog ~ I've heard lots of positive feedback about it, but also hear "I don't write anything because nothing is happening in my life." Hey folks! There is always something happening. We all want to hear what your kids are up to, your grandkids, your pets etc.....a blog should be like a continuing conversation. If you see something you are interested in, respond here. It's fun!

That's all for now!
