.... Congratulations.
Our vocations ore about over.. J . D. West
leaves tonight for his annua! "Loop'‘. He
has enough passes to Just "Pass on out"
which he probably will do. 1 bet he even
goes to Hope Mills and gets up with Joe
Gurganus and Bob Best. When John Dav'd
returns, your correspondent will have his
last swing and annual jaunt to Pineville
and then get set for the long cold winter
which is not looked upon with any favor.
I guess we've had too much good weather.
Weil, wi th a new S.I.R.P. and new Air
Mail procedures al I in two weeks time, the
procedure Change boys have done a bang
up good job. I don't bel ieve we could have
had more complete confusion-but it works
all right.
Many of you wil 1 regret to learn of the
sudden passing of our Airport Manager,Mr.
David M- Rea. Mr. Rea died of a heart
attack October 1 . We wil I miss him very
much here at the Field, as he has been a-
round for a long time in various capacities.
CHARLOTTESVILLE-AII of us in CHOare
very proud of our station, and though it
may be small, we believe that CHO can
hold its own with the best of them.
First of all, a little about the community
of CHO. There is an average population
of about 27,000. |t boasts numerous in
dustries such as the Instrument Corp. of
America; Specialties, Inc., which pro -
duces aviation instruments for the govern
ment; the famous University of Virginia
Hospital, which might be termed an indus
try, due to its prominence throughout the
world. In the outlying communities, there
are the E . I. Dupont and General Electric
plants in Waynesboro, Va.; The Westing-
house Corp. and American Safety Razor
Co.in Staunton, Va. Soon to be constructed
is a plant to be operated by the Remington
Rand Corp. These are but a few of the re
sources which this territory boasts.
On the cultural side, we have the well
known University of Virginia; Thomas
Jefferson's home, Monticello; Ash Lawn,
the home of James Monroe; and Mitchle's
Tavern, meeting places of the notables of
our country's Colonial period.
|f your fancy runs to other types of diver
sions, there are libraries, golf courses,
swimming pools, and the opportunities to
see some of the biggest, and best gridiron
contests in the country.
Top all of this off with some of the most
beautiful scenery that you have ever seen,
and you may see why business is booming
at CHO.
Now that you are familiar with the com -
munity, let's acquaint you with the station
personnel at CHO. After all, if you ever
plan on going to DCA on PAI, you may
as well know the people where you are
going to deplane, and visit for a while.
We're notorious for pulling NRSA's.
First of all, let’s meet our station manager.
Bill Cash. Bill was Chief Agent in RO A
for quite a while. We are very fond o f
Bill, and are working with him to make
CHO the best on the system.
Next is Warren Foster, LYH's former pride
and joy, and our new Chief Agent. I
guess that yours truly, also from ROA, is
next, jf you don’t see me, just watch for
a Long John,staring intently into the sky.
That will be me,making one of those per
petual WX observations.We want to con
gratulate our next agent, L.E-Blankenship,
on his promotion to agent received when
he transferred from ROA to CHO. We have
one of ORF's agents here also, Leonard
Martin. Leonard came with PAI about 2
months ago, fresh from Weaver Airline
School. Leonard has a lot on the ball,and
we wish him all the luck possible. Last,
but not least,as they say, is Nancy Reams.
Nancy is our new reservations agent, and
has only been with us about two weeks at
this writing,but she shows promise of mak
ing a fine agent. Having her here gives
much better coverage on our reservations.
As you can see, CHO is a composite of
personnel and experience from any quarters.
We are having our problems, as is every
one these days, but given time, we are
going to pour all of these elements in the
PAI melting pot, and come up with the
best station on the system.
Boarded 280 during operations in August ,
and boardings in September were about
650.
CINCINNATI-With Ed Laskowski having
been made Station Manager in CMH and
Gladys Kramer being married in Tucson,
we inCincy have been having a turnover.
Amongst our ranks are Barbara Richmond
of Oakridge, Tenn. and formerly with
the telephone company in that city. Mak
ingheadway right along with Barb Is Janie
Griffith from Lancaster, Ohio,who worked
as bank teller before her training at
Central Technical Institute. Walt Jacobs,
who has transferred from Louisvll le, seems
to be doing all right, too. We extend our
heartiest wel come to these new Res Agents .
As for Ed, it may be rightfully assumed
that his departure left a gap in our operatlorB
which will take a long time to fill . W e
believe that it can definitely be stated
that never has an employee of any airline
left CVG who will be more sorely missed
by all airlines than Ed. One point we can
stake our lines on is that CMH is in the
most capable hand.
Vacations are practically concluded and
Tom and Bake made hay with the paint
brushes. Both fellows are in an artistic
mood, and to say the least, this is pleas
ing to their wives.Why is it wives always
enjoy seeing their husbands work?
Mary Aglomesis had a sunshine - filled
vacation in Fla., as did Marion Robben.
Frankie and Nancy are talking seriously
of a one - repeat - one day trip to LAX .
Seems they want to buy a cup of coffee
at the LAX airport. Jane Griffith and
Barb Richmond have decided an apartment
is cheaper than the YW and, furthermore,
one alarm clock will do for both, provid
ing it goes off. Seems Barb and Jane are
planning a visit to Oakridge, Barb's home
town. Both seem to complain that this big
city habit of wearing shoes all day is get
ting a little difficult and, therefore, they
plan to go barefoot in that Tennessee dew.
Penny Goerss made a trip to ORF and to
MYR between hurricanes. Walt Jacobs -
well - with all those women folk, Walt's
got no problems. Next thing you know,they
wil! be feeding him with a silver spoon.
COLUMBUS - Hi, all you fellow rebels,
this is your cotton-picking reporter way up
North.At least itseems that way, with the
weather getting mighty chilly.
First of all, we would like for you to meet
