December, 1974 PIEDMONITOR page three The most successful United Way Campaign Piedmont has ever had in Winston-Salem was started by the leaders. They were, from left, Justus Tucker, general campaign chairman for Forsyth County, Company Chairman Leon ard Gould, President Davis and Co-Chairman Roy Raines. Details of the drive are given below. Drive was best ever The 1974 United Way Campaign Drive in Winston was the most successful ever. Under the direction of Company Chairman Leonard Gould contributions were 65 per cent over the goal and 85 per cent over the contributions raised last year. Employee participation was also up a substantial 72 per cent. The actual figures showed total contributions came to $28,048.34 as compared to $12,630.80 in 1973. The 1974 Company goal was $17,000 and the final figure was $11,023.34 over that. There were 1049 employees who made con tributions during the drive in 1974 as com pared to only 609 participants a year earlier. This year’s results were the best ever in terms of total contributions. In terms of the number of employees involved it was the best year since 1967. During 1973 nearly 200 Piedmont employees were helped by 12 United Way agencies in Forsyth county, including the Red Cross, Salva tion Army, Rescue Squad and the Child Guid ance Clinic. More on golf Most of the details on the annual Piedmont golf tournament are given in the cutlines with the pictures on page ten. But there were a few other notable awards. Atlanta co-pilot Marshall Guthrie won the closest to the pin prize while Wilmington co-pilot Skip Jones had the long est drive. The dubious distinction of having the highest score went to Beckley’s Gary Hol- landsworth. ALTA at the greenbrier Piedmont was host for the fall meeting of the Association of Local Transport Airlines. The group of regional carrier executives, their wives and airline supplier representatives gath ered at the Greenbrier in early November for its semi-annual meeting. President and Mrs. Davis were the official hosts for the three day meeting which drew nearly 200 registrants. The business program featured outstanding speakers, including Richard O’Melia who is currently acting chairman of the Civil Aero nautics Board, National Mediation Board Mem ber Kay McMurray and West Virginia’s Sen ator Jennings Randolph. ALTA chairman A. L. Feldman of Frontier presided at the meeting which was planned and arranged by Piedmont’s Vice Presi- dent-Sales Bill McGee. In the months of preparation for the meet ing, which the regional carriers alternate in hosting, McGee had a lot of help from a num ber of Piedmont personnel. From the reactions of the attendees the meeting was a grand success and all those who helped with it deserve commendation for a job well done. McGee’s ALTA staff included Don Edmond son, Bud Halsey, Marty Martinez, Judy Clark, T. L. Martin, Don Holliday, Jim Sheets, Mike Mason, Sheri Folger and Brenda Penney. Flight Attendants on hand for the meeting were Janet McLaughlin, Pat Craft, Diane Todd, Claudia Kelly, Ann Gootee and Cynthia Taylor. Si Among the speakers at the Piedmont hosted ALTA meeting was Senator Jennings Randolph of West Virginia. President Davis is seated at the left. Most of our stations know about the large number of summer camps on our system and the corps of campers who fly with us to these retreats. Each year the Eastern Association Coal Corporation opens the doors to its camp in Hinton, West Vir ginia to the children of representatives of foreign coal companies in the U. S. This group of Japanese children, after leaving home thousands of miles away, completed the last leg of their trip on a Piedmont Japanese built YS-11, just like meeting an old friend on the other side of the world.
