There are so many things happening these days it’s tough
to find room in this column to print it all, and I missed the fol
lowing news bit in the last issue:
For some unknown reason, which I will not probe into, a
Flight Attendant failed to show for Flight 40 at INT one morn
ing. A relief attendant (or let’s say someone) happened to be
on hand who was used as relief. The following is a comment
from one of the passengers on board:
“I have flown thousands of miles. I recently rode
your Flight 40 to DCA and never in all my air travels
have I seen such superb cabin service as that rendered
by 4he steward on this flight. He was much at ease
throughout this flight. He served coffee as though he
had been trained at the Waldorf. His knowledge of the
aircraft was that of an airline captain, and he knew every
point of interest along the route. He even pointed out
Farmer Jones’ hog farm just north of Windy Crossroads,
Virginia. I believe his name was Eddie Clem Clements.
He was just wonderful.” (We all think he’s wonderful,
too.)
We’ve got a real “show-off” in our bowling league this year.
Bob Kiser of Accessory Overhaul has an average of 187 — he
holds high series of 568 and also high game of 233. Well, the
sun don’t shine in the same foxhole all the time. Bob.
We’re real proud of Eddie Jones of BLF, who was chosen
by the city of BLF to represent the city in “The Bluefield Story”
in the finals of the All American City Award Competition in
San Francisco.
The Old Days: Remember when times were lean and we
had time to chew the fat? Now times are fat, but there’s no
time to chew any.

THE PIEDMONT
POSTMAN
Gentlemen:
In September our younger
daughter entered college in Bar-
bourville, Ky. To get there from
Boston it was necessary for her
to fly by way of Piedmont Air
lines from Washington, D. C.
This she did accompanied by her
mother.
When my wife arrived home
in New England, she painted
such a glowing tribute to Pied
mont’s service that I decided I
must try it some day. Two weeks
ago that day arrived. By
I
Jeff and Sherry Fulp
A OIl|nstma0 Jitali...
The neat-looking Salvation Army woman dressed in blue,
ringing a bell ... the clink of coins as they drop into her red
kettle . . . excited children pressing their noses against store
windows . . . lights . . . tired sales clerks . . . one that still
finds time to smile . . . white fur muffs ... a sled . . . frozen
fingers and toes ... a walk in the woods . . . bare trees . . .
a red Santa Claus . . . happy young eyes . . . little "G's"
made by a small girl's mouth as she looks up-up-up at the tall
Christmas tree . . . Christmas carols . . . and a strange feeling
of love for everyone . . . that's Christmas.
If I could make a Christmas wish for all of you this year.
I'd wish a busy day so rushed and packed with shopping and
wrapping that tiredness would seep through every bone and
you'd know how nice it feels to fall asleep on a soft couch.
Airlines, my wife and I flew to
Washington, thence by Piedmont
to London, Ky.
The Piedmont portion was
most enjoyable, the aircraft
crew efficient and attentive, the
flight through the mountains,
and the magnificent view from
the air was a thing of glory.
I heartily concur in my wife’s
enthusiasm for Piedmont, and I
look forward eagerly to enjoying
your service often during my
daughter’s college years in Ken
tucky.
Again let me say, thank you to
your company and crew for a
wonderful trip.
Sincerely,
J. S. B. G.
I'd wish some hours of solitude, of walking over forgotten
leaves on a cold, damp day, of liking it that way, and of pon
dering what it is to be alive on such a day. I'd wish for you
to be freezing cold at the end of your walk, with your nose
hard red and your toes so numb that only after a half-hour
of thawing out would you realize they were even cold. And
I'd wish that you had some hot clam chowder waiting for you.
I'd wish for you one night of Christmas caroling — the real
old-fashioned kind where someone asks you in for coffee or
buttered rum after the last bars of “We Wish you " And
I'd hope that you had the joy of doing just a little more than
your share.
I would wish for you a cold house and a crackling fire and
a midnight hour. I want the heat to flush your cheeks and keep
only half of you warm at a time to make you deliciously sleepy.
I would wish you at least one good snowfall and a sled and
the guts to go down that hill no matter how old you are.
I'd wish you the brightness of 500 candles in a darkened
church at the Christmas Eve service.
I'd ask for no cars or T.V.'s or dresses or golf clubs or
cameras or razors or ties; only cheap tinsel, angel hair, dyed
popcorn on your tree, walnuts, homemade cookies and the smell
of holly. In fact, if you miss what I'd wish for you, you'll miss
the meaning of Christmas.
