This is great! We just had an EAL get-together today here in Middletown
with 25 ex-fa's in attendance. So many laughs and it seemed we'd never
been apart. Pictures were taken and will be forwarded to The Crew Lounge.

Nancy Dodd once again resumed her passion
as an "airline hostess" by hosting this gathering of flight attendants
in her home in Middletown, NJ. (Airline Hostess, an
archaic name for flight attendant has long since been degenderized to Flight
Attendant.) When school starts in the fall, Nancy will be teaching
4th graders.

This is how EWR Flight Attendants greet
each other.
Here we have Skip Rothrock - EWR, getting
a big hug from Carol Michelini - EWR.

There were three of the
funniest guys on the seniority list, practically in sequence; JFK's
Victor Kostelak*, MIA's Pete Bishop and EWR's Marty Moran (in the
photo above left). I was fortunate enough to be in the midst of these
three comedians. MAC flights were based upon system seniority, allowing
for each of us from different bases to fly together. If you flew
with any of them, you know what I am talking about. ............can
you imagine what it was like to be on a flight with
all three at the same time!!!!!! I was !!! LOL

According to Fred, there was some kind of an
auction taking place (perhaps a modern adaptation of the old fashioned
"grab bag" of my era.) There were lots of coveted EAL memorabilia,
I guess this T-shirt was among the prizes. That is Sue Tiberg between
Fred Shimandle and Marty Moran. Does anyone remember a picture that
appeared in the EAL Falcon News many years ago captioned "The Flying Tibergs"
? No, it wasn't a trapeze act. Sue, a flight attendant
and her brother, a pilot, were pictured in the cockpit of one of
EAL's planes with their father, Captain Al Tiberg (from Colonial Airlines).
Fred, who was on that flight, was not part of that "act". He and
F/A Vic Kostelak* just came along to work the
flight.

If you were at this get together, please
let me know who the "guests with no names" are. Thanks!
