******************************************************************************************************** My elementary school in Chicago was Mt. Greenwood. In 1955 we moved to Southern California when I was in the 4th grade. We lived in Pasadena when we got there, but moved to Azusa where I went to 5th & 6th grade.

Since a couple of my very best friends were still at SMHS, I was able to take advantage of an opportunity to return there for my senior year. My senior year was a wonderful time in my life. We all got to do a lot of fun things. Our graduation & Grad-night were like the frosting on our cake. I'm one of those who would go back to relive my school days & hopefully make wiser choices. Then it was out into the real world. I took some classes at CSM, but decided to look into an airline career. I began work in customer service for Pacific Airlines in June 1965. Over the years the company merged or was bought by different air carriers. I held the same job, but worked for Pacific Airlines then AirWest. Howard Hughes bought us & we became Hughes ...Expand for more
