Up to bat
The girls at the Central Res Office formed
their own softball team and played in the Win-
ston-Salem City Softball League for the first
time this year.
A lot of player enthusiasm and support
from other Piedmont employees helped the
girls finish the season in second place in their
seven team Astro league. At the close of the
first half of the season they were in third place
with a 4-2 record. They finished the second
half in first place with a 5-1 record. Although
they didn’t win in the State Tournament we’d
say that’s a first rate record, especially for a
first year team.
Flag ceremonies held
Ceremonies for the acceptance and
raising of a memorial flag were held
the morning of July 3 at the Central
Reservations Office.
The new flag was given by Betsy
Buford in memory of her foster son,
Bennie Holland. He died May 20,
1975.

Taking part in the memorial flag ceremonies at the CRO were, from
left, Walt Ryczek, Harvey Tedder, Sandy Holland, Tom Ellington,
Betsy Buford and Southern Bell representative W. C. Bumgardner.
In the brief but impressive cere
mony, the old flag was lowered as “Taps” was
played. Betsy then presented the new flag to
Walt Ryczek. While the bugler played “Call
to the Colors” the new flag was raised.
Betsy’s co-workers who attended the cere
monies and others at the CRO wanted to express
their thanks to Betsy for her thoughtful and
generous gift.
All the
planes
Would you like to have one
picture that shows every airplane
ever flown by Piedmont?
There is one. It is a black and
white glossy 14x11 inches
which includes all our planes,
from the DC-3 to the 737. If you
are interested write W. W.
“Bill" Cook at ATL-Maintenance.
For $5 he'll send one of these
prints, shown at right to any
Piedmont employee.
