LOUISVILLE (Cont'd.) and Bob Gilbert, Operations; and Mrs. Ruth Covington, Communications. A good bunch of kids whom we welcome whole heartedly to our PAI family. We still have a few old reliables such as "Smiley" Brown, who, minus his choppers, is singing the praises of A. B. " Happy " Chandler. Delayed congratulations are due Smiley and Jean with their first add ition ...the same goes for Bruce and Virginia Parrish's latest visit from the stork Preston Gregory is quite a bouncer for 8 weeks old. While we're dealing on the latest "extra sections" of the "Bird", we must not leave out the new beauty queen of PAl/SDF,Miss Kayla Rainey, ten-week- old daughter of newcomer Jim Rainey and wife, Barbara. Deeper into the inner-circle of old timers we find Parker Haley, the Hoosier Hotshot, and Jean Wil 1 iams(now Mrs.WiI liam Eaton per the recent merger with E^-operations agent. Bill Eaton). We have recently welcomed an additional service to SDF: Ozark Air Lines, with two flightsdaily between SCF and FUK. NRSA's take notice - here's your chance to see the "Duke of Paducah." In the near future we will witness the in auguration of direct SDF-LGA service by EAL, TWA and AAL. We had the pleasure of chatting with an old comrade from TRI, Fat BoyPickel, who was passing through on his way from LAX. Said he enjoyed several days in Sunny California. Our best wishes go to former SDF agent, Walt Jocobs, now on duty at CVG-C and NormaWagers,communicating atCMH-C. LYNCHBURG -We finallymade it inOct- ober.. .boarded our first 1000 passengers , to be exact, 1067. I believe there were two factors that helped us to make the goal. First, people seem to be turning to air travel more and more, and second, October was an excellent month weather- wise. Don't believe we had more than 3 days of actually bad weather. Looking forward to that steak dinner, with all the trimmings. If the month of Novem - ber holds up as faros weather is concerned. we are looking forward to our biggest month yet. The big day this month will be November 23, as we will board in the neighborhood of 125 - 150 col lege girls. We have two big colleges here, and the majority of the students travel by air. If □ II goes well, we should hit 1250 at least. The station wagon sure does come in handy these days with increasing air travel. Be - lieve it haspaid for itself already. George Gilbert went down to RIC for a halloween party - didn't see him for about four days- when he came back he had quite a smile on his face, wonder what went on? NEW BERN - A little good news from EV^ this month. We have started our spri ng cleaning a little early this year - maybe we should say a little late. There is not much we can do to improve the looks of our office here except use a little paint and rearrange the furniture, jf you would like to know the color we are using forthe walls,just look at the Atlantic Ocean on the airl ine map. Our chief agent, Marvin Mills, leaves Nov. 5 for a well earned vacation .Marvin is marrying Miss Mary Jo Purser of Vance- boro,N. C. while on vacation they are planning a honeymoon trip to Miami. Attention all statiois-EWN now has an air taxi service operated by the A&W Flying Service. If you have a party of one-two or three desiring air taxi to Morehead City, Ocracoke, or Jacksonville,N.C.,just let us know a little in advance and we will gladly take care of your reservations. NORFOLK - RadiomanR.L.Baldridge who returned to the navy has been replaced by W. E. Stafford of INT. Agent and Mrs. Bob Morgan wish to announce the arrival of their son, Michael Lee, October 8 - weight 7 lbs. 2 ozs. Captain Ray Schulte started his vacation off with a fishing trip. Will advise his catch in next issue. C. B. Cross and family are spending their vacation in Lincoln, Kansas. Our old faithful manager, A. M. Whittaker, is in the market for a new car-should any of you know where they are giving them away, please contact him immediately. With the Thanksgiving and Christmas rush es just around the corner, everyone at ORF-C is getting in vacation time to live it up a little before the fun begins. Dot Partridge, formerly Dot Peele, recenh- ly returned from vacationing and honey - mooning in Texas and Mexico. Dot really enjoyed the said fishing in Alcapulco, and heartily recommends a trip to these spots for all you fishermen and adventurers. Peg Strong and husband are at present en route to phoenix, with intermediate stops, for two weeks of sightseeing and playing. Joan Pascarosa is counting the days until the beginning of her trip to Chicago to spend a few days to see if the city is really as windy as they say, among other things. We have no idea that Joan will return without one or two hair-raising experiences to relate, as has been the case with her past vacations. We'll take this opportunity to formal I y welcome and introduce to you Miss Pat ricia Jones. Pat has already been initiated into the club by a passenger's request for the fare from ORF to the Panama Canal . That's it for now, so until the next time. Happy Thanksgiving to all. PARKERSBURG - The last Sunday in Oct. marked open house at Wood County Air port with approximately 4000 prospective passengers attending the festivities. The entire airport was open to the public which witnessed a model airplane contest and viewed exhibits by Piedmont, Allegheny and American Air Lines. One lucky 12 year old Parkersburg citizen received a model DC"7 mounted on a Chrome ash tray from American Air Lines and a mail carrier from Marietta won two round- trip tickets to Pittsburgh on Allegheny. Coit Harris was recently promoted to Chief Agent and we are confident that he will handle his duties efficiently. Vacations will be completed by November 15. -5-
