*I spent my life working with my carrier , Pan American World Airways , lived in an airplane, traveled around the world a few times, been here done that, or seen and heard that or did it myself. A few marriages, and divorces, 2 natural born children, adopted 6 others - lovely life raising the kids - I retired the day Pan Am closed for good in court 12/ 03/ 91 I have a college & university formal education as well as a world education with Pan Am . Its interesting transition going from life in the entire world to life in a little house with a little garden and 9 little dogs, with me, myself and I. I love waking up alive each morning, don't need anything, don't want anything I don't already have, no agenda. It is amazing how I change with each passing decade of life
What I used to think, used to believe, now seems just silly. I find that I so miss the camaraderie of others . *WE had over 1200 staff in Miami GO , 1700 flight att , and maybe 999 others just in Miami alone so there was always someone who was there for me. Not to mention around the world. If we flew there, I had PAA family and friends there. Now I live in a little house with a little garden and little dogs for company. Truth, the world has changed so much now that I wouldn't want to travel there, much of anywhere, that I used to love going to - and the situation at our airports is now totally awful, offensive to me. I vowed that I would not ever fly again after the last few flights and ordeals at our airports. Since 911. I love to read, all the time, watch great old movies on TCM/ AMC. with no porn, no vulgarity, no violence, no blood and guts, no sicko stuff that make the movies up now days. What else ? Nothing, I am sort of boring now days but the stories I can tell ! I loved my life , my career, not my personal life very much. That 's another story.
