Hello everyone, 
I just received word that Camille Mason's husband Dri died yesterday!  I don't have any details yet, and I haven't been able to contact her on the phone.  I would imagine Russ Johns and "Herb's News" will be putting forth information ASAP regarding the date of the funeral etc. 
 
Camille and I used to talk quite frequently on the phone, and without fail, she would always tell me how happy she was, and how lucky we both were to have found "our guys" at such a late time in our lives!  Just a few days ago we made plans to get together as soon as the weather warmed up, and they were going to spend a weekend with Gene and I out here in the country relaxing by our pool, and enjoying some of the restaurants in our area.  Sadly those plans now won't include Dri in the future.  Camille told me that the two & a half years she has been married to Dri have been the happiest of her whole life.  I know she will appreciate hearing from all of you.
 
Her address is.....  Camille Mason Dreiboldt 
                              3525 Turtle Creek Blvd.  Apt. 18D
                              Dallas, Texas
                              75219                                
I will keep you updated as I receive information myself.

Greetings,
       Sorry to report my computer has been on the blink re: e-mails. Learned last Thurs. at Kiwi meeting that Lesley had passed away. Sad! She put up such a battle. Anyway, this is the latest, so wanted to pass it on in case you didn't know.
Russ

Dear All,
 
    Lesley has been cremated and will be taken to Ohio at a later date.
 
    A Memorial service will be Sunday, October 29th, at Brust Funeral Home, 415 No. Gary Avenue, Carol Stream, Illinois (630-510-0044). Memorial visitation is from 2PM until time of Service at 5PM.
 
    In lieu of flowers, please give to a charity or organization of your choosing. Thank you.

Hi everyone,
 
I have changed my website address to
http://www.babyhomepages.net/melaniesbigcjourney
 
I am trying to change the way the stories are listed so that you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see the most recent ones. It is a bit tricky so be patient with me.
Once you add this one to your favorites/bookmarks you can delete the old one.

I'm not sure I have the correct email address but if so, would you please put me on the "Honey Buns" list or is there a website I can go to about retired F/As. thank you,
Gloria

Debbie, I just recieved the book from Tom Murphy~ Reclaiming the Sky.
All of you that volunteered for the pre sales did a great job. You should post it in this web site to let other retirees be aware of it. Am sure they would be interested. You are right~~ what is with the baby website???

I am confused, what study?
This website is a general webster regarding babies?

Good morning Russ,
 
Kathy Kridel sent the study to me as well but I'm glad you forwarded it to me anyway because I have been trying to email you for the last few days and I always received it back that it was the wrong address.
I'm not sure what is going on with my email program but maybe you'll receive this one.
 
Would you be so kind as to include my webpage address in your next email to the CR Honey Buns and also if you still have contact with the company if there would be anyway for you to send it to Carlos Castillejo so that he could put out the word in an HI6.
 
Michelle Simon set this page up for me for any of my friends who would like to keep up with my progress.
I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance in case you are able to do it. The address is
http://www.babyhomepages.com/melaniesjournal.
 
You might want to add that it could be added to any one's favorites list to avoid the hassle of typing in the whole address each time.
 
Thanks again,

Latest update re: Lesley Shaw...i have now started chemotherapy every 3 weeks for several months...the treatments make me fatigued and unsteady on feet...it's a slow process, and patience is not one of my virtues...i will be doing physical therapy to get around better...good news, i will not have to wear my back/body brace all the time...God bless all of you for your support throughout my ordeal...love, les shaw

After returning from long Memorial Day weekend, found this msg. in my e-mail from Linda Riley & wanted to pass it on. Russ

Good Morning. Russ, I was informed by Carol Sharp that Sue Johnson's husband passed away. I don't have any details yet. But here is Sue's address. 10 Juniper Ridge Rd. Exeter, NH. 03833 Sue was Boston based and came over to IOR.

Just to let you know...Lesley Shaw came home from the hospital/rehab yesterday. She does have a long road ahead for her total recovery...She is able to accept calls from friends..most likely won't be able to talk long. Tires her out. Thanks, Kathy

To the retirees who are unaale to get email from American on Lesley Shaw's progress. Here is an update. She is on the Rehab floor, at Lutheran General, in a back brace that goes from her waist up her back. I spoke with her Mom the other day. She will have to have radiation and chemo once she is recovered and strong enough. Some of the tumor had to be left at/or near her spine. No calls or visitors are allowed at this time. Lesley is in a lot of pain. As one can only imagine. She has been thru so much. As always, keep her in your prayers. Thanks to all of you. Kathy Coffman

The reunion was fantastic. I had so much fun seeing everyone again. I just received Eloise's picture album by email and it is great! Thanks for sharing it Eloise. I would love to see more pictures and when I can figure out how to add mine to the mix, I will. Thanks to everyone who contributed their time and effort to make the event so special. Loved seeing everyone again.

The reunion was wonderful, and so much fun to see everyone. Please don't forget about the O'Hare Kiwi Club. Keep in touch with old friends and make some new ones. Our club is only two years old and we are dedicated to wings as our Charity. We have a meeting at the California Pizza Kitchen on the 15th at 11:30 on Golf Road in Schaumburg for installation of new officers. Everyone is invited. Would love to have you come and welcome our new officers. Stephanie Butler, President Liz Reda, Vice President Claudette Sanderson,Secretary Maureen DiCola, Treasurer and Russ Johns, Kiwi Klip Notes Editor. If interested email me, Barbara Fritsch at lucy38550@yahoo.com

So sorry to hear about Leslie..I will keep her in my prayers.

The reunion was great and wonderful to see everyone. Thank you to the committee for a job well done. Where did they get the pictures for the video? Also, thank you for the update on Leslie, I'll send a card soon.

Two days ago I spoke with Lesley Shaw's sister, Jennifer. Lesley has just had surgery on her spine. She went into Emergency Surgery Mon. or Tues. for a cancerous tumor on her spine. She just got out of Intensive Care. From there, she will remain in hospital and then rehab. Les has been a very courageous woman, and gone thru so much in the last five years. Her Mom and sister do not want visitors or cards sent to the hospital just yet. Les is in terrible pain, and isn't up for company. The cards can be sent to her home address, 336 Elmwood Lane, Bloomingdale, Il 60108. Let us all keep her in our prayers. Thanks, Kathy

The retirement dinner was wonderful and seeing everyone was great fun! Thanks to the committee; Karen, Mary, Carolyn, Mary, and Russ for all your hard work and dedication.

Hi Russ

You will be required to sign in and make a password.

Hi,
    After I sent out a msg. re: Capt. Frank Street on the AA News group e-mail, I received many responses from other F/A's. Just received this info. from Herb Dabelow's AA group e-mail. Will also post this info. on the C.R. Honeybuns website.
Russ
 
Dear Mr. Dabelow,

Bob Oliver says you're the "go-to" guy for disseminating info to and
about the retired AA'ers.

I know you've received notice of the CarePage I put up online for
Frank and Peggy and we sure appreciate your sharing of that info.

I know there are lots of people interested in how Frank is progressing and this
CarePage seems like a good way to keep folks informed - and to let them get
word back to Frank while he's away from his personal email.

Thank you for your help!
www.carepages.com page name: frankandpeggystreet

Janet Street

Russ-
  THX for this info. Hope you are doing well. I'm having a dinner party tonight for Glen Ellyn folks that Gan & I have met. Take care. Pat Avery

I have just hung up talking with Health First and they are in the process of sending out bills and I was told have extended the deadline date on our supplemental insurance.

Marion Donovan
med5242@bellsouth.net

This is an email from Ginger:
If you are a retiree who funds your Supplemental Insurance Program through HEALTH FIRST, be aware of a last minute change in premium payment...in the fall, Health First sent out a notice offering automatic bank drafts for the premiums, which many of us filled out and sent in. It was in lieu of paying the $60 annual premium by check, a bill for which had been sent out on September 22nd. They told us we could ignore the bill, fill out the bank draft info, and it would automatically be deducted from our bank account each January in the future...we wouldn't need to remember to pay the bill by mail from now on. Well, they have now reversed course, and sent out a message saying we have to pay the bill by mail after all, the bank drafts are no good. That premium payment is due on JANUARY 31st! It is the front and center story on the Jetnet Homepage for retirees. If, when you access Jetnet, you glance at the main story on the homepage, and don't see it, it's because the homepage cycles through 3 or 4 stories as you look at it...so click on "previous stories" until it comes up. The number to call to get your premium straightened out at Health First is 1-800 711-7083. Follow the prompts to customer service. I've been told they are supposed to contact us by mail to notify us of all this, so be on the lookout for it. Ginger Gainer

Peggy-
  PLZ keep me abreast of the developments. THX!

Just learned that Kay Fasano has requested not make any further announcements & not to give out her address.

As stated,Val Smith lost her husband to cancer. Her address is:
    Mrs. Valerie Smith
    288-B Hilltop Court
    Lake Barrington, Illinois 60010
I still am trying to get Kay Fasano's address, so if any of you know it, would you please pass it on to me? Thanks.
 
Also have another bit of sad news. I just learned that F/A Carol Hoffer's mother passed away. Carol can be reached at:
    Ms. Carol Hoffer
    1000 Lake Shore Drive
    #2208
    Chicago, Illinois 60611

    It seems that the holidays bring us many happy tidings, but unfortunately some sad ones as well.
    Just got word that Kay Fasano's husband was killed in a car accident. They were in NJ visiting their daughter. He went for a walk after dinner and was hit by a car. No details as of yet. Will keep you posted. The office has been advised. Please pass it on. They will need lots of prayers. That is about all we can do right now.
    Also, Valerie Smith, now retired, has lost her husband to cancer. Will call Gloria Herrera to find out more info. & will pass it on.

Happy Holidays to all my flight attendent friends out there in cyberspace!

Hi to all who still read any messages on this web site. I like Pat Avery seem to have too many things going on at once or I have lost my ability to get all of the things done that I want to get done. On that note I am asking for any information about new retirees. I haven't updated the phone list since July partly because I keep taking two steps back for each one forward and partly because I haven't received much information from anywhere. Eloise and Russell send me stuff now and than, but the web site from AA hasn't been updated since April. If anyone has any inof please e-mail me with it--sammyeb1@juno.com I will try to get the list updated as soon as possible. Thanks.
And to Pat Avery, if you are reading this I haven't forgotten you. I am going to mail out the present list tomorrow and will update you as soon as possible. Sammye
Hope everyone is doing well and still enjoying retirement...

Russ-
Hope you are doing well. I'm enjoying retirement but,
I think I have joined too many activities for all my
days are so very busy! Glad I don't have to worry
about work & commuting to ORD.
Still sunny & warm here in TUS which is nice. Take
care,

Greetings my dear Colleagues,
Talked to Gloria Herrera last night; she has just returned from saying good-bye to her mother. Although, still having difficulties accepting her loss, she told me how touched she was by the numerous notes of sympathy she received from all her friends.

Much love,
Gloria Herrera

The New O'Hare Kiwi Club is having its first fundraiser for Wings on July 15 at 6pm at the Brunswick Zone 1515 Aurora Avenue Naperville ..It's a Scotch Doubles Cosmic Mexican Banquet ..The price is $30.00 per person. If interested send check made out to O'Hare Kiwi Club.. to Stephanie Butler at 2640 Cessna Circle Poplar Grove, Il 60165..This is open to everyone. Please come and support our only charity. Questions call Bobbie Konsgaard at 815-293-1103

Just checking in with some new retiree names: DUGGER-PETSAS, Terry GENTRY, Patti MARTINET, Jane REED-CASE, Tracy. Will get back with you with addresses, etc. If anyone has new information about retirees I would appreciate receiving it. Thanks and have a great day.

Golden Wings can be reached at 800-521-2510, but it is my understanding that you have to purchase their insurance within a month (or two) of retiring in order to qualify. After you purchase their $600,000 supp policy you are then able to sign up for their dental policy, which I understand is far superior to the dental policy that AA offers retirees.

For new retirees you need to send a copy of the letter that AA (United Health Care) sent you attesting to the amount of your American Airlines Pre-Funded Retiree Medical Insurance to: 389 Linwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14209

Susan Harrigan is correct. Golden Wings is used when one exhausts their AMR insurance. One must buy the basic medical inorder to buy the dental. (Consider the dental as a rider to the basic) However, their dental insurance is great. I can find no better dental. My decision was to buy the basic, just so I could have the dental. I spend about $1,000 yearly for dental care, so I break even with the medical and dental premiums. But, if I ever exhaust my AMR I would have that extra medical, that I might not otherwise be able to buy.

Love to all out there in cyberspace.......Peggy

It is my understanding that Golden Wings medical is not supplemental other than if we completely run out of AAL's I do have dental which I find to be good--I took them both out as soon as I retired. You can't get dental without medical. Anyone to whom I've spoken about them seems to like them Susan Harrigan

Anyone have Golden Wings for Insurance both supplemental and dental. If so would you send me your opinions of subscribing to this company especially if we ever lose our insurance because of AA bankruptcy (just projecting ---I have not heard any rumors)

Hi All from the mountains of North Carolina where I have been living for the past seven years--beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I retired this past Nov. 1st and haven't looked back---I love not having to commute or even think about it! I just completed the Master Gardener program at our local County Extension Office and am having a ball with new friends with the same interest as me--dirt gardening.
   Thanks Peggy for organizing this and how are you??

It's just me again. I forgot to leave my e-mail address. It is sammyeb1@juno.com. Sorry.

Sammye

For those of you who keep your retiree phone list current I have to apologize for not keeping up with the changes for you. I have had a rough winter as my mother passes away during the holidays. For awhile I just didn't do much and than I tried to post the changes two or three times and my computer kept closing me out. Too many changes and the list was just too long, I guess. Since I am not that up on what to do with the computer I just let it go. Than I had to plan the memorial for my mother. That was a bit time comsuming since I wanted it to be just right. Well that is behind me now and I do have many changes to the phone list. If you are interested in receiving these changes e-mail me and I will get them to you . I know a lot of you don't like revisions any more than I do so haven't kept up with the list so I won't go on and on and on. Hope everyone is well and that you are still enjoying retirement as much as I am. Can hardly believe it's been 2 years already. Take care and good luck to Kate Pantorillo. I'm going to vote right now.

Email for Kate Brenner: Skylanded@aol.com

Have looked all over website and can not find the place to
to vote for Kate in the overseas contest to Iraq. Please
help.

To vote for Kate go to msnbc.com then click on Today Show (in the column on left highlighted in blue) then click on symbol that says "vote to pick your favorites" then you'll see "volunteer overseas" which is 8 from the bottom and that is Kate's dream.

Could not find Kate to vote for her on MSNBC---where
do you find Voluteer Overseas? bonniebalch7@yahoo.com

Hi, again!
    Sorry to be so remiss; meant to send this out earlier---but you know how it goes. For those of you who know &/or have flown with Pat Schaefer, just wanted to let you know that her mom recently passed away. I'm sure she would love to hear from you, especially at this time. Thanks! Here's the info. you might need:

P.S. Tried to put this on our website "C.R.'s Honeybuns," but couldn't get into the system

Dear Current and Former AA Flight Attendants-

We are writing this message to let you know about a new e-mail group that is being formed. Susan Boe, Ann Clark-Durkin and Jerry Loomis have been talking about the need for all of us, both current FAs and former FA retirees, to share our knowledge and experience related to retirement, both preparing for it and actually living as a retiree. For this purpose, we have created the AAFA-Retirement e-mail group, and we are inviting everyone who is interested to join.

If you would like to join the AAFA-Retirement e-mail group, send a message to AAFA-Retirement-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

For those of you who are current subscribers to the Baseline e-mail groups, this new group will work exactly the same way as the Baselines. For those who have never used an e-mail group before, once you are a subscriber to the group, you will be able to receive e-mail from other subscribers. Any message which is sent to the group address ( AAFA-Retirement@yahoogroups.com) is automatically sent to every subscriber. If you reply to one of these messages, your message is also sent to everyone (not just to the person who sent the original message). In this way, you are able to read what everyone else is writing, and are able to both ask and answer questions from other FAs, and offer observations about a given topic. This is a very efficient medium for us to share our questions, concerns and personal experiences about a very important area of our lives.

Even though our initial "membership" for this group will probably be centered in Southern California, we decided that we should create an e-mail group separate from the Baselines groups. Not everyone who belongs to the Baselines will be interested in retirement questions and issues, and eventually FAs from all over the system will probably be interested in joining this group, so it seemed better to start a separate group just for this purpose.

The immediate focus of the AAFA Retirement group will be the upcoming retirement classes in April. These meetings are scheduled for LAX on Wednesday, April 20 (in the Flight Service Training Room) at 9:00AM and 3:00PM, and in SAN on Thursday, April 21, also at 9:00AM and 3:00PM (in the USO Facility at Lindbergh Field - where the old baggage claim area was). The meeting in San Diego would not have been possible without the space provided free of charge by the USO, a non-profit organization assisting our military personnel, and a tax deductible donation to the United Service Organization would be greatly appreciated.

Several retirement specialists will be attending these meetings:

Linda Wetherspoon - AA Retirement Counselor
Wes Ramsey - AA Credit Union
Jill Frank and other APFA Representatives

If you are planning to attend any of these meetings, you will need to call Lisa Gustaferro at 310-215-7000 to reserve a place (seating is limited). When you talk to Lisa, let her know which city (LAX Apr 20th or SAN Apr 21st) and which meeting (AM or PM); also give her your employee number, your base and phone number. We'd like to know where you are based so we can show AA that they need to send important messages announcing things like these retirement meetings system-wide.

Also, IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO RETIRE SOON (on or before July 2005), you will need to schedule an individual appointment to meet with the specialist to complete paperwork in order to retire properly. Ask Lisa to make this appointment for you.

You can schedule an individual appointment with Wes Ramsey, Financial Advisor with the Credit Union. Please call his office to schedule this appointment (Wesley Ramsey, AAFCU Financial Services, Tulsa, OK 74133, 918-254-3588 / 800-533-0035 x43588).

Mark your calendars today, and start preparing yourself for these meetings. In the next few weeks, join the AAFA-Retirement group, and share your questions with other FAs in the group. In this way, we can start to educate each other about the areas of concern before the meetings, and we will better understand the important issues facing us as retirees. Again, if you would like to join the AAFA-Retirement e-mail group, send an e-mail to AAFA-Retirement-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.


Susan Boe 858-454-8544 sboe1@san.rr.com
Annie Clark-Durkin 858-538-4974 airlineannie@san.rr.com
Jerry Loomis 619-665-7835 Baselines@cox.net



PS: A technical note--we have decided to allow that attachments be sent with messages on the AAFA-Retirement e-mail group. On the Baseline groups, attachments have not been allowed, as a security precaution to cut down on virus attachments. Because so much information related to retirement is contained in charts and articles from news sources and websites, we have decided that it is important to allow these messages to be sent as attachments on the AAFA-Retirement e-mail group. It is important that we make it easy for us to share this type of information; if it turns out that we have a problem, we can always change this setting later. (You should have updated anti-virus software installed on your computer to protect yourself from viruses--you are probably already getting spam e-mail with viruses attached every day, and you need to protect your computer.)

I thought all of you would like to send a card to (retired) Capt. Al Voras (Cyndi Carrasco-Voras' husband) He has been diagnosed with cancer and is receiving treatment at: Loma Linda Springs, 11171 Oakwood Drive, #E-412, Loma Linda, CA 92354. His email is: Albie1676@sbcglobal.net Having spent time in the hospital myself a few months ago, I can be pretty confident in saying that I'm sure he'd love to hear from us.

Hi!
    Was going to send this tomorrow a.m., but couldn't wait...know you'll all want to receive this.
    Great news! Many of you have made inquiries about Jonii & being able to contact her. Well here's the latest...Had a phone call from Jonii & all is super A-OK. Like me, however, she's having problems with AA Medical---mine with the doctor at the time, hers with the staff as they have lost her documentation from her doctors permitting her to return to flying. Told her to keep a stiff upper lip & keep after them.
    Anyway, she said she's doing great, has put on a little weight (good, 'cause I don't think anyone will notice!) & is ready to go back. She let out that she wants to fly only 4 more months & then she will join the rest of us retirees (BUT, THAT'S ON THE Q.T., SO DON'T SPREAD IT AROUND!).
    She sounded just great, really up, & very anxious to get all this "hoo-haa" behind her. Got her permission to send out her address, so if you've been holding off, here it is:
    Ms. Jonii R. Patterson
    3825 Prairie Lane
    Bettendorf, Iowa 52772
    (563) 332-0884
    e-mail: JoniiRP123@aol.com
Know she would love hearing from you & your best wishes. Keep her in your prayers, & with that, she will see her desires realized. Hope you are as excited about this news as I am!
As always,
Russ Johns

Kay, Saw your message and emailed Marcia how to subscribe. This is a great way for all of us to stay in touch with each other. The retirement dinner held in SFO for the SFO FAs was a smash-hit. Seventy showed up and a few had to be turned away at the door. It will become an annual event out there.

Greetings my fellow F/A's!

    J.J. has been dealing with breast cancer since last year. On Oct. 4 & 8 she had lumpectomies (again, sp?) that were successful. Her lymph nodes are clean. Since her surgeries, she has been undergoing chemo which will finish this April. Then she starts her radiation treatments.

Retired FA Pauline Smith died last week in Gadston, Alabama. I first knew Pauline in SFO in the early 1960's, She was one of those fired at age 32. Our regional VP Elmo Coon, a very nice man, gave her a ground job, so she maintaned continous employment with AA until her retirement about 2000. I was the base chair in 1968, when the contract changed, and those aged 33 after July 1964, were recalled.I still remember the thrill of calling her to tell her she would be recalled. Pauline had previously been based in BNA. Her last base was IDF.

For those FAs who live in SF and used to fly out of there, Kay Middleton is organizing a luncheon on Feb 23 to be held at a French restaurant in San Ramon. For more info email her at imwingless@yahoo.com

She is survived by her husband John Fennell and daughter Alex at 15 Pickering Road, Fredericksburg VA. 22405. she has succumbed after a very long, valiant fight of a lung disease.

Hi Peggy,

Condolences can be sent to her husband, Bill Morosco,1700 N.E. 105th Street, Miami Shores, Fl. 33138.

I just learned that Yumi Phillips died this past summer. No one knows exactly when because her husband did not notify AAL. Does anyone have any information? I am very saddened to hear this news.

Thanks again for your patience.All of the updates/revisions will be posted here on our website.

I haven't sent any new messages in regards to the phone list because I've been trying to figure out how to send multiple e-mail messages. Alas I didn't get the deed done--my inability to catch on to these new fangled things. Russ Johns has come to me rescue and he has agreed to e-mail all of you that purchased phone lists. They should be out there soon. Until I can figure out the mechanics of my computer I will add the updates to our web site. Hope all is well with all of you and that you are still enjoying your retirement as much as I am.
There are a couple of get togethers coming up. One that Jody Miller told me about. It's at The Ice Bar downtown in Chicago in October. She is supposed to post a note on this web site. The charge is $25.00 for a lite meal (subs, salads and chips) and a cash bar. If you need more information please contact her. Also Eloise Smith is working on an evening at Drury Lane. The cost is $50 and includes a theatre ticket, a glass of wine, dinner, tax and tip. I believe she has arranged a hotel room discount nearby. She will be mailing flyers to all retirees. It is is February and is a fund raise for Wings. Contact Eloise for more information.

He has an extensive collection of airline memorabilia and his basement is literally a museum. He collects things from ALL airlines...not just AA...the older the better. So,if you, or anyone you know, have items collecting dust and you don't have the heart to throw them away....contact Craig and he'll give them a good home! His email address is as follows: stewardcrb@aol.com Best Wishes! "Jenks"

Congrats to you Kathy!! Met your Fiancé a short while ago, when you were traveling together. Lucky Guy!! Best ever, Birgit Iliew

Hello Peggy, et al. It was good to hear from you. Since running into you in New Orleans, I've had some excitement in my life. August 4, 2004, I married that handsome guy I introduced you to in the airport. My husband's name is Robert Caruso and we'll be living in Dallas for about a year until we move to New Orleans. He is from there and has lots of fun family. So, for you, and all my dear flying friends, know that you will always have a friend to call when you are in NOLA for fun, food, and of course, Mardi Gras! I'd like to attend those luncheons in Dallas, too! Kathy Crockett Caruso ;-)

The 3d annual Wings Golf Classic will by played in Northbrook, Il on Sept. 15, 2004. All current and retired F/A's are invited to attend. We are also in need of a few prizes if you happened to have anything to donate. We need more golfers. The price is $50 and it is a nine hole best ball tournament. Lunch will be served. Time is 9 am for sign-in, social and practice balls, tee off at 10 am. For more info contact Marcia Wilks 847-367-7047 or email marcwilks@yahoo.com Thanks..

I am enjoying the good life in Dallas, based in SFO 1961-1991,(MAC 1969-1973) then IDF 1992-1998. In Dallas the local paper covers the APFA problems, that have been occurring since 1979. I attend a montly luncheon with retired FAs, organized by Ruthie Burch) And yes, Kathy Crockett, I remember you withgreat fondness,> The luncheon is attended by about 20, including Ruthie Hogg, Peggy Allen, Julie Redmond, Judy Smith, Nancy Hines, Judy Haag, (Patt Gibbs still appears)._

Regarding the upcoming Silver Stripes Fly/Drive picnic it was discovered in the by-laws that a "blanket" invitation cannot be extended. So anyone wishing to attend will be an invited "guest"! (Semantics?)

The SILVER STRIPES of Chicago are active and retired pilots, flight engineers, and operations personnel all over age 55. On Sept. 14th at noon, they will have their annual Fly-In/Drive-In Picnic at Casa De Aero Airport in Hampshire, at Tom and Elaine Reany's home. All active and retired flight attendants are invited, and encouraged to attend to "renew" old friendships. Donation is $15 per person for food and refreshments. Make check out to The Silver Stripes for the correct amount (spouses or significant other are also invited), and mail to Capt. Herb Dabelow by Sept.4, at 1528 Burberry Ln., Schaumburg, Il. 60173. Also bring your own lawn chair. It's always loads of fun! For more info call me at 815/923-2412, or Herb Dabelow at 847/605-1809.

I posted the message about the new club but didn't include my name in the message. For those that can't see my name it is Barbara Fritsch..

The second O'Hare Kiwi meeting will be August 18 at the Arlington Race track. Should be fun and it would be nice to see anyone that would be interesting on joining this new club. Call me at 1-847-696-1569 Our charity is officially Wings.

< replied-to message removed by QT >

For those of you that might have been based in San, Lax or Idf, a former flight attendant and dear friend, Gara Kelso Hullegard passed away this morning after a couregeous battle with cancer. Her services will be held in Tucson, Az.
Gara retired just last year, got married to a longtime companion and moved to a beautiful home in Mexico. She will be missed by me and many of her friends.

Yes, and I have been "GONE" since last October 1. At least twice a week, I dream of some flying related event. They do seem to be extra long---guess that is due to the fact that since '85, I've been flying International;-). Glad that you brought it up. Kathy Crockett (IDF)

Hi, just curious- does anyone else have re occuring dreams of still working flights? In my dreams I do know that I am retired but there I am still working- and it is exhausting!

Saw Karen Divers today. Still hanging in there. She really enjoys getting mail from her old friends. Her address is:
8025 Eddy Bend Trail
Fairfax Station, Va. 22039

Originally my computer allowed me to discern who was sending each message in C.R.'s Honeybuns, but now I no longer get that pleasure. I love this venue, but may I suggest that each of us include our name at the end of each message.

Just read in today's (Friday July 2) NEW YORK TIMES that UAL will probably be turning over their FA pension to the PBGC. AAL was not mentioned in this article but I encourage all of you to go on-line to read it or go out and buy the paper. It is located in the Business Section. You would think that they would go after the pilot pension but, apparently, that fund is doing well. Hope all of you are having a great summer. Would anyone be willing to organize a C. R. Honeybun Camp for next summer?? Maybe a long weekend at the beach or or a lake somewhere? We could bring our sleeping bags and spend some quality time with each other. If enough of us participated, it wouldn't cost that much. Any ideas???

Mary, sorry that I mistyped your street address and phone # I guess I,m just not the typer that I used to be. Couldn't have anything to do with age could it??? Good thing I'm not looking for another job.
For everyone else that has received their phone lists: I have a bunch of changes--thought all of you were finally settled, but I guess not. As soon as I can figure out how to mass send E-mails I'll get them out to everyone who bought a list. Thanks for the great response. It makes all of the work worthwhile. I'm sorry that I haven't sent personal notes with the lists, but I wanted to get them out as soon as I could. Thanks again for all of your wonderful notes and the interest.

Colleen...Hugs from your old SAN gang! Call if you're ever out this way (dogs and horses welcome). My e-mail: gingersan@san.rr.com. Glad you're having fun! Ginger Gainer

It's been a year and I miss my comrads and flying friends more than I imagined...Where else can you share so much with such wonderful individuals which is why you don't retire from this lifestyle....Busy as ever with visits and side trips and even my first Cruise to the Caribbean.....I recommend it but don't count on life in the slow lane..Working on stop instead of go so I can spend some time with my horse and four dogs....Hugs, Colleen Caselman

I think several of us have thought about but how smart to take a shute. I usually feel that about Bento box time in coach and it passes quickly. Mis your smile. Take care Kate Pantorilla

This is my last message for now-promise! Thanks to you ,Peggy for setting up the website, you are brilliant,as ever. Sorry I missed the party in Ord- next year! My husband and I skydived for the first time last month- I guess it was the thrill of retirement that made us crazy enough to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! WOW!!!

Thanks ,Sammye for compiling this list. I just got mine in the mail, courtesy jeannette Armstrong. Thanks, J.

Hi everyone
I just noticed that my address and phone no.s are not correct.
My address is 6071 N. Placita Fresnillo. Tucson ,Az
phone no. is 520-577-1962
Now lets send those Christmas cards!!!

NBC nightly news with Tom Brokaw will do a segment on how flight attendant training has had to change in light of terrorism. Tomorrow, June 14.

Hi all,
I've moved into the modern world, and updated to high speed internet. My new email address is maclenn1@comcast.net. I look forward to hearing from anyone who cares to touch base.

Hi everyone I am retiring on July 1 2004 and am the President of a New Kiwi club..The Ohare Kiwi Club..We are all on line flight attendants or recent retirees and a few from the Chicago Kiwi Club that like the Idea of supporting Wings with whatever monies we can provide with white elephant sales and other similar things. Our Club only has Wings as our Charity and would like whoever wants.To come to our next meeting ..at my house..July 23 12pm bring your own bag lunch,(I'll supply the wine and soft drinks and Ice tea or whatever else you like to drink.) And a white elephant to auction..We will have a meeting to try to organize the new club and just have fun gabbing.. write if you are interested. lucy38550@yahoo.com

Hi to all, I have finished the phone list and have sent them out to those of you that requested them and/or paid for them. If you haven't received yours and have paid me please let me know. We had a bad storm here last weekend and perhaps my postal service messed up. If anyone else would like one please let me know. Thanks again.
Sammye

Maureen...congrats on your new Kiwi Chapter! I just went to the national convention in LAS and it was a blast. I'm a member of the SAN chapter, and we're hosting the next national convention here in SAN (or a cruise from SAN), in 2 years. So, everybody: SIGN UP! I can promise you all a great time here in SAN, and in the meantime, some fun get-togethers there in Chicago. Party on.... Ginger Gainer

My email address is lucy38550@yahoo.com

Today a new chapter of the KIWI Club was formed. It will be called the O'Hare Kiwi Club. Once we are up and running our charity will be the WINGS Foundation. If interested please contact Barbara Fritsch at lucy38550@aol.com or Maureen DiCola at dicolav@aol.com.

What info do you need Sammye? I have all the current retirees through April of 2004.

Eileen MacLennan asked that I tell everyone that AAL has discovered some mistakes in how they calculated our pensions and are working over-time in trying to correct their mistakes. They will notify people who are affected. She tried to post an email earlier but it didn't paste her message.

This Thursday evening, May 27, on History channel will be 25th anniversary commemoration of AAL #191, ORD-LAX which crashed on takeoff ORD. Check local listing. Will be on twice here in DEN. Has it really been that long? I remember it so clearly.

Hi All,
I'm sure that you've all received a letter from AA regarding their taking advantage of the Pension Funding Equity Act, recently signed by President Bush. This has the potential of seriously affecting our futures as retirees. It is unfair, and favors big business over the rights of the people. I have just sent email messages to President Bush, to my two Senators and to my Congressman, stating my upset at the signing of this Act, and asking their support. PLEASE take a moment to contact your Representatives. It's important to us all!!!!!!!!!

Hi All,
I thought you might find this interesting.

This is the latest Jonii update from Pam Sandberg:

She is being transferred tomorrow (Mon.) to another facility to start rehab and physical therapy. She
will be there until she is strong enough to go home. Jonii is doing well and feels stronger every day.
Misha, her daughter, still feels it would be best to hold all phone calls for awhile longer. Jonii's new
address is: Genesis Medical Center West Campus
                                1351 West Central Park Avenue
                                Davenport, Iowa 52804

"The eating habit will never go away,

Hi all, Thanks Sammye, my roster arrived today. You're something for putting it together! I saw Karen Divers today and told her about CRsHBs. She's hanging in there, loved the name, and says hi to everyone. C.S.

Peggy:

I think this extra money comes from an investigation by a F/A's husband on how AA was figuring our pension. I await my notification. I definitely need more money -- it cost me $75 today in Biarritz for a manicure-pedicure. I need to haul over some Vietnamese, don't you think?

Love, Casey

I received a letter from AAL yesterday informing me that I have been "underpaid" for my retirement to the tune of about $100 a month. They deposited the $100 into my account today for the month of May and will deposit the rest in the next few weeks. I would have never known if they hadn't been so honest. Maybe I should take back all those nasty things I've said about Centerport. On second thought I don't think I will! Hope some of you out there received the same good news.

She is sooooo the best. I, too, am glad to have the email addresses and phones. I retired about a year and a half ago, and I can't believe how wonderful it is. Hope we are all able to enjoy a happy and healthy summer. We in Ohio are looking forward to some sun this year, after our Noah's Ark summer last year. All we grew in the garden were some mushrooms and lots of green mush..... Thanks again to Sammye and to Peggy for setting up this message board. Janet (Gough) DiFrangia

Hi All,
I think Sammye Bale deserves super kudos for compiling the new IOR/ORD Retiree Information/Phone List. I know that it took a lot of hard work, and I, for one, am delighted to have this beautifully done reference package.
THANKS SAMMYE!!!!!!!!

Update on Retired F/A Anne Henderson
5/6/2004 5:01:22 AM

Former DCA F/A Anne Henderson is back in the hosptial. She has been in ICU for over 10 days.


Cards and words of encourgement may be sent to her home at:

6221 Kellogg Drive
McLean, VA 22101

This was a forward from one of my emailers from DCA. Thought some of you would be interested.

Flight attendants from several different airlines, including an AA JFK flight attendant will be on Tom Brokaw NBC Nightly News on Tuesday or Wednesday night. They are discussing things, such as our lack of defense training. So, please tune in and tell every flight attendant you know.

A post script to my lengthy note--My fingers just went too fast for me to keep up with. It was Karen, not Daren that had such a great party. Sorry Karen, hopefully I'll do better next time.

Hi all. Thanks to Peggy. How woderful you are to set this up and I, too love the name. Brings back many great memories of all of our fellow F/A's. It certainly was great at the luncheon and at the "Hostess with the Mostest" Daren D's beautiful home. Thanks Karen. I can't wait to see everyone at the next event. I will be at Arlington Park, but not sure about the picnicyet. Hope to make it to both. The IOR/ORD retiree phone/info list is complete and ready to be mailed. For those of you who have already purchased one it will be in the mail tomorrow. For anyone wanting the list please contact me at 119 Higman Park, Benton Harbor, Mi. or via e-mail: sammyeb1@juno.com or by phone 269-926-8715. The cost is $5.00. If any of you hear of retirees that I have missed or new ones please let me know. I have quite a few names that I have no information for at all and would appreciate any further help for them. I guess I just can't stop putting phone lists together. Thanks again to Karen and Peggy and hi to all.

  Forwarded message from Pam Sandberg:
I wanted everyone to know I just spoke with Jonii's daughter, Misha, and she gave me some
very good news. Jonii is out of ICU and feeling better. The family requests PLEASE no phone calls
as she still tires easily. As soon as she is strong enough, Jonii will be calling all her friends. However,
she is able to receive flowers, books, magazines, or any special treat that flight attendants are so
clever in doing for friends. Misha said the family thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

I also am sorry to have missed this lunch and party. I've been spending most of my time trying to get more people excited about Kerry now that my guy Dean is out. Should be so easy ....all the terrible things that are happening!!!Sorry....I'm clinbing on my soapbox again!

Love not going to work anymore but I still have dreams about missing trips and running down airport halls and getting on airplanes I never saw befoe and saying "I shouldn't be here. I'm retired!"

What a wonderful Forum and idea! I hope it's ok for an X- IOR F/A to join in...LAX-I is Great..but I sure miss all of you wonderful gals of IOR. We just gave Jan Costic a retirement Luncheon Yesterday... She already looks well rested and Fabulous!!....and saw a lot of old friends and retirees....Great Fun for All! Happy Mothers Day All....Jo Antrim

First things first! Thank you so much for arranging the wonderful luncheon Karen. I missed the party afterwards, but heard it was superb. I want to mention the Flight Attendant Picnic at Busse Woods in Schaumburg on June 17th, at 11:30am to ? I am hosting this with Darlene Anderson and Diane Barker. If you would like further info feel free to contact me (630) 941-8557. We hope to get current Intl. Domestic, and retirees out. It is great keeping in touch, and thank you for this website!!!

Rothrum, I've been waiting for you to post! I know you are probably busy getting those voting machines to work down there in Jeb Land. For my sake, I hope you are successful because I can't take another 4 years with Dubya. We missed you at the party. You better make the next one! Love, Peggy

Fender.....what a great idea, using my initials and Honeybuns! LOL!!

This is such a wonderful way for all of us to stay in touch. When anyone gets an update on Patterson, please post.

Karen, sorry that I missed your party, I heard it was fantastic!

Regards and hugs to all,
"CR"

Congrats to all who made this F/A reunion happen and I will surely have another glass of French Red tonight to thank Peggy and Karen! Retirement for me came on 3/1/04 along with selling our SF house and moving to France. We are currently living in Biarritz while we wait to occupy a newly puchased home in the Provence. Wish me luck -- I am going from living in the heart of San Francisco to a village of 2000 people! Yes, of course, EVERYONE is welcome to visit and Michael and I really do look forward to entertaining you --anyone ready for a bicycle tour?? Love, Casey

Karen...You're such a party animal...I always liked that about you. Wish I could have joined you, and definitely will next year. I'm off work having the 'ol rotator cuff repaired...works for me! I DO miss you all. Kudos to Karen and Peggy for keeping us connected. C.R.'s Honeybuns...WHAT A PERFECT NAME. I think he'd be honored!
 Ginger

Hey what party??? Geez I transfer to LAX-I and no one tells me anything anymore. just kidding. Hope it was a fabulous party. Great to know of this venue to keep up with everyone here and there gone or not. Lisa A

Thanks Peggy. This will be an awesome way to stay in touch. You never cease to amaze me. I so enjoyed seeing all of you that left so quickly (without even a good bye hug). And, meeting some of you I only knew by name. Now you not only have a face, but an incredible personality to match the stories. The luncheon was great, and then.... Here comes Karen!!!! Lady!!!!! You throw the absolutely "best" after luncheon party. We all enjoyed visiting and enjoying your beautiful home. The Campo Difiore at her finest. Thank You. And thanks to sis Marilyn, too.

What a great idea!! It is so nice to have a way to keep up with everyone. Thanks Peggy.

What a great idea! I am so sorry I couldn't be at the party but please think of me next time. I thought when I retired that my schedule would slow down. It's worse now, and I don't know how I had time to work.. Happy Mothers Day to all you Mothers. All five of my children and 4 grandchildren will be in Scottsdale with me to celebrate. What more could a mother ask for. Love, Mother Shapiro

Hi All,
C.R.'s Honeybuns! I love it!
Lisa

Peggy, thank you for getting this site up and running so quickly. What a great way for all of us to stay connected. Friday was wonderful remaking those connections.
Thank you, too, for including Susan, Darlene and me in your caravan. We certainly did appreciate it. Judy

It was great seeing everyone! Thanks, Karen, for organizing such a wonderful day. I'm enjoying retirement--traveling alot since my sisters live in Minnesota & South Dakota. Will let you know how I like my volunteer job with horse therapy (hypotherapy) dealing especially with children. More later.

Would love to hear how much fun you retirereeeeee's are having. You picked a grand time to say good- bye. The good ole days are gone!!!!!! Please let me hear from you. Debi

I'm glad everyone likes this idea of a message board. Keep the news flowing. Glad to hear that Ms. Patterson is getting better. Getting old is such a pisser!

Hi All,
I just received a call from IOR FA, Pat Isner. She was calling from ORD, and had just spoken to Debbie Carvatta about Jonii. She was told that Jonii is not at all in the condition that we had heard she is in. Supposedly, she's in pretty good shape. Pat told me that Debbie had said that they only put her in ICU, because she would not follow their instructions, ie. drinking lot of water, etc. Let's hope this news is accurate.
Eileen

Hi Everyone, Sorry I missed the party at Karen's I'm sure it was well attended and a great party. I miss seeing everyone but I am still employed unfortunately. I am seriously considering giving it up soon especially with the summer commuting season coming on. Marilyn I didn't know you were retiring! Please keep those jokes coming! Thanks Peggy for setting this up what a great way to keep in touch. Look forward to the next retirement party maybe I will be among your ranks by then. Miss you all Carol

Greetings from Colorado fellow retirees.Wish I could have been at the get together but had planned a trip to visit relatives. If you get out this way come visit. My mess is your mess...er, casa your casa... whatever...Skiing was great this year; river rafting starting soon so come on out.

Peggy, this is outstanding, now that the blue curtain has been taken down it is hard to get the news. The galley wall has fallen. Karen sorry I could not attend the party but I was going to NRT and then became illegal at about 3:00 and sent home. Please keep me on the e-mail list.
Take care everyone
Kate

Thanks Peggy for your inspiration setting this message board up and naming it.Also to my good friends who alerted me to it! And to Karen Di., applause, applause, applause! It was a wonderful time for all of us at the 1st annual party. To all CRsHBs, it was so much fun seeing everyone of you! Eileen just wrote that she'd heard some encouraging news about Joanie. Has anyone else heard anything? And yes, Marilyn has retired!!!

Thanks, Peggy, for setting this up. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed seeing everybody Friday....and thank you, thank you, Karen, for getting us all together. Anybody want to meet in PIT next year? I'll be glad to set it up, if you can get here.

WOW!!!! You guys are (as we always have been) the cleverest damn bunch of women anywhere. Sorry I missed seeing all of you at Karen's on Friday, but I broke my fingers and got a puppy. Both of these situations took some time to resolve, therefore keeping me in NY. Miss you guys! xxoo

Wow, this is great Peggy.
Karen, once again you did a fantastic job...great party!
I slept great too!
The company does not post Hi6B messages anymore. Now you
have to find them somewhere on their website. Just another
hassle.

Dear Peggy, Thank you for getting us all organized!! I heard a rumor that Marilyn Lamm retired, is that true Marilyn??

Hi Peggy, as I said to Eileen, leave it to you to be the one who would be so prompt in setting this up. It was great seeing everyone and everlasting gratitude to Karen for getting us all together.

If those of you still working would post what used to be HI6B messages for us, we could keep current on who needs get well and sympathy cards. Of course that means one of us will have to stayed employed forever. Any volunteers???

Peggy, of course you would have this great idea! Eileen, thank you for your thoughtfulness in making me aware of it.
Now, I want to hear from my friends!!!

Hi Peggy,
What a great idea this Web Site was. Thank you for giving us a vehicle for staying in touch with all of our pals. The Reunion was absolutely terrific, and Karen's plans and organization culminated in a wonderful and memorable gathering. To the attendees.......it was wonderful to see you all!!!!!!!
All the Best!!!
Eileen MacLennan

Thanks Peggy,

 for getting this site together so quickly!

 Now let's do as Peggy asks and use it. A way of staying in touch until next reunion. And I didn't hear of any plans??? Somebody??? Any info. on Jonni Patterson? Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers (:-)

I'd like to thank Karen for organizing the luncheon and opening up her beautiful home for all of her retired friends. It was wonderful seeing everyone.
