Photos Too

I’d rather get my blog done than my hair and nails, but if I have the time and money, I do both. An aspiring teacher who meets obstacles and stumbling blocks at every turn, I write as a creative outlet, and to achieve my lofty goal of becoming the next Erma Bombeck or a female Dave Barry. I have a naturally smart mouth, and am able to express my feelings better through humor rather than pathos. I can’t get into trouble being myself, on my own blog. I hope.

Here are the links to my Pan Am book, and my Woman’s Guide To Everything book-

  1. Gigi girl! Am I hallucinating? You actually received another message from A. Sweeney? Where exactly is she writing to you? Must be here. You are not FB friends, I’m sure. Do not respond to anything she writes. Unless a person is making threats, using profanity or other vulgar language, Facebook will not intervene. Do not engage in this childish banter. She should now be “persona non grata” to you. Non-existent. Continue with your life :)

  4. Dear Gigi.

    A small spellcheck item: it’s “solipsistic.” (Latin; solo, alone; ipso, itself or myself.)
    Oh, no charge for this. BTW, my father (navigator,) father-in-law, one aunt, and several
    neighbors all worked for PanAm in Miami.

  5. Dear Gigi.

    BTW, my father (navigator,) father-in-law, one aunt, and several
    neighbors all worked for PanAm in Miami. Where were you based with the company?
    I like the way the movie “Aviator” used the rivalry between Howard Hughes
    and Juan Trippe.

    Fine site, Gigi!

  6. Thanks, John! I am so embarassed over my spelling mistake. Can’t figure out how to change it though. I am glad there is no charge for this, and maybe you can quit paying such close attention? Just kidding-I’d rather know if there is spinach in my teeth, so to speak, than not. I’ll have to watch ‘Aviator’ again. Don’t remember it that well. I was based in NY and LA- You had a family full, too!

  7. Hi Gigi,
    I met a woman when I first moved to Florida in 1987.
    Her name was Gigi. She was my neighbor.
    She was married to a doctor, whom she had metwhile flying for Pan Am.
    She would be in her late 60′s now. She had had several strokes. I would go over
    and help her dye her hair, take her shopping, etc. I remember looking forward to
    our visits because of all the great stories she would tell me about her years working
    for Pan Am. She would bring out her Pan Am bag, wings pin, and other momentos of her time there.
    We lived on Tortise Island near the Kennedy Space Center at the time.
    She was French Canadian. She used to go to Pan Am reunions.
    We both eventually moved and lost touch. I know its a long shot, but I wonder if you might have known her?

  8. Hi Regina! No, I didn’t know her, but I loved getting your comment! Wish I had known her. When did she fly? Did she tell you? There were six thousand flight attendants when I was flying, so there were many people we never ran across, even at the same base.

  10. I’m only 15. I watched the show Pan Am, and it looks like so much fun.Plus you get to travel the world for free, and meet all kinds of different interesting people. I wish I could’ve lived in the 60′s,despite all of the racism and problems.
    I’m inspired to be a Pan Am stewardess! (:

  12. Being a flight attendant was a lot of fun. I wouldn’t have given it up except for a leading part in a Broadway show, or something equally as good. Start researching airlines and see which one might fit you. Hint: second languages are key! Thanks for the comment!

  14. Hi Raegan- It has been more than twenty years since I flew, so I wouldn’t know anymore. You can probably find out from the internet. Good luck!
