BULLETIN All news items,photos and information for the Piedmonitor are gladly welcomed but, we need them anytime during the month whenever they are available. It's not necessary to wait until the last few days before deadline to send them in and we'll try to return all pictures, but prefer photos which may be kept for future use. Sometimes it may be necessary to alter or "crop" photos for better composition. We need news from everybody - agents, pilots, pursers, executives, mechanics.
