April 16, 1962
Dear Mother,
I met a fella who works at Hallmark Cards. Chuck Andrews. He has a very good position at Hallmark Cards. He took me downtown this morning, which was really nice of him because I would have had to taken a bus. Taxis are so expensive. He's very sweet, but too short! (Only about 5'6"). BUT - he has a boat and a '62 Buick convertible. So, I'm up to my old tricks by getting acquainted with a boat owner and I must add, a convertible owner, for this summer. He's already asked me if I water ski, and I said , "I love it." So, I may be in for some good times. Isn't that funny?!
I'm going to type Tom's term paper for him. I knew my ex-career would come in handy somehow. ha ha.
Love, Tish
Pan Am, the TV series, brought renewed interest in the glamour days of flying. I began my career with TWA in 1962. In those days, it was too expensive to call long distance calls, so, as a devoted daughter, I wrote letters to my mother. Unknown to me, she saved every letter and post card. Now I share these letters, and give you a peak into the the life of an airline hostess in an era when flying was considered glamorous. Welcome Aboard TWA!
