Daughter Of Employee Featured
As Balloonist In Sports Magazine
Davis Joins NCF Division
Pamela Henry, daughter of
Chris Henry, salesman for
Karastan Marketing Division, is
featured in the October issue of
“Women’s Sports” magazine as
one of the world’s “most
respected” balloonists.
The lengthy article, which
describes and illustrates a
recent ascent by Ms. Henry over
Princeton, NJ., reports on the
growing popularity of balloon
racing as a sport in this country
and internationally.
Glenn A. Davis recently joined
the North Carolina Finishing
Company as a Project Engineer.
He will report to Vernon
Wilkerson, director of engi
neering and services at NCF.
The story points out that
Pamela, a graduate of the
University of North Carolina,
started flying balloons in 1967,
“when there were only about 25
balloonists in the whole country”
and only one of three women.
The author of the article,
Maury Z. Levy, goes on to state:
“Pam Henry has cautiously
worked her way up to become
probably the top female balloon
racer in the country and one of
the most respected balloonists in
the world. She lived in Paris for
awhile and gave ballooning les
sons throughout France and
Italy. A little while back, in Eng
land, she won her first interna
tional race.”
Mr. Davis will assist with the
installation of secondary waste
water treatment facilities. He
will also be active in energy
conservation projects, steam
and power generation, process
instrumentation, electrical
control systems and the design
of process equipment for textile
finishing.
A native of Wilmington, N,C.,
Mr. Davis is a graduate of North
Carolina State University with a
B. S. degree in mechanical engi
neering. For the past several
years he worked as a consulting
engineer in the design of water
and waste water treatment
plants. He has completed-Waste
Treatment Plant Operator’s
course and received a Class II
Waste Treatment Plant Opera-
GLENN
tor’s Certificate. He has
completed courses in reali
fundamentals and real i
finance at Cape Fear Ted
Institute and is a license:

pilot’s license and enjoys I

Pam, Levy notes, inherited
her love for flying from her
father who was a pilot in World
War II. In fact, he adds, she has
been flying since she was teen
ager and before taking up bal
looning held a pilot license for
multi-engine aircraft. “She’d
flown everything from big jets to
seaplanes to an open cockpit
World War II bomber.”

Pam Henry is shown here adjusting the flow of propane
gas that heats the air which causes the halloon to go up or
down. She is shown in the steel and wicker gondola or
basket in which she rides during her many ascensions.
There are no seats in the basket and seat belts are not
used.
Pam has made hundreds of
ascensions since she has taken
up the sport, but has never had
an accident. She attributes this
to the fact that she is aware of
the fact that as a “petite”
woman she knows her physical
limitations and does not take
