,iiuim.^^tcr7nlAjL yfodaUk In case you don't believe Coppy had a job putting this sheet together, check with me. I'll give you a clue! Let me say for the record that, in my opin ion, and I'm sure in yours, Coppy and Margaret Tise did a doggone fine job in originating the Piedmonitor in its present form and in getting it out each month. Mary Irvin and I sincerely hope we can measure up to the standard we have had set for us. Send us the news - Please! We've got some new ideas, some of which are incorporated in this issue. Our idea is to use the Piedmonitor to get acquainted so you'll see in future issues a feature story on an Executive each month, a Captain and First Officer, an Agent, a Station, a Mechanic, and so on. Let us know how you like the idea. The enthusiasm generated by the TOP campaign was terrific! Let's see if we can't carry this same steam into the next quarter, and let's get profitable in a hurry. Attended a meeting of the Greensboro Aero Club a few nights ago and was much impressed. All the usual horseplay, but underneath it all was a seriousness and purpose which can't help but benefit the industry. Why aren't there more organi zations like this? Strikes me that we who are in aviation professionally should take the lead in building up these groups. Because of projected schedule increases, training has started for several new Cap tains - Gene Gibbs, Bill Robertson, Bob Hawkins, Grant Jeffries and Bill Manos. Hope we always keep growing like this! Rainey Chandler, our faithful factotum in the General Office, beats the socks off me weekly in our standina bet on the Blue Ribbon fights. Wt.; i i the black trunks ever beat the white trunks ill Since we started this deal, he's won 11 of 13 bets. Such luck! Ezzard Charles (the ex-chompeen) rode 1 and 51 to CVG the other day. The champ went a couple of rounds with Flat- top Stack - Champ look good - Stack looked beat. That's news?? Vice President Dick Hager, Captain Sam Parnell, F/O Lloyd Lyons and Dispatcher Moe Moser are spending lots of time build ing a fish camp in the mountains and are spending more time studying "Joggerphy". The camp is very close to the Virginia- Carolina line, and it seems that while fish ing a stream, the lads crossed over into Virginia, where they had no license, the stream was closed and they had an under sized catch. P.S. They beat the Game Warden back across the State line, Frank Nicholson has been in Dallas this week for a Chief Pilots Meeting. Haven't heard from him or the Dallas police. Wonder if "Digger" ever got there?
