DALLAS TEXAS SEPTEMBER 24, 2006 HANK WASINIAK Hank is training cabin crew at Southwest Airlines in Dallas Texas. I hope you will continue to keep me on your IAB e-mail list. I have really enjoyed the photos and the flying memories. I am still teaching new Flight Attendants at Southwest Airlines and love what I do. I have had to take a bit of time off this year, as have had to undergo chemo and radiation off and on. I am not working this month. It’s the third time in 25 years, so I am used to being a tough character when it comes to this! I have such wonderful support from friends and family and coworkers from past and present airlines that I am only surrounded by care. You can’t beat that! I expect to be in top shape again soon. I am enclosing a photo taken last year. Love and greetings to you from Dallas. Hank

FINDEL INT´L AIRPORT LUXEMBOURG AUGUST 1969 Anna Eriksson welcoming Hank and his mother aboard! Swedish Air Bahama F/A Anna Eriksson welcoming Hank Wasiniak and his mother aboard one of the first Air Bahama flights from Luxembourg Findel Airport to Nassau July 1968. Hank´s story My name is Hank Wasiniak and after very happily stumbling upon your website, I wanted to send these two photos in for your collection. Although the date on the photos is March 1970, they were actually taken in August of 1969 in Luxembourg. You will probably know who the hostess is in the photo. My mother and I are to her right. Although I was a boy in the photo, I went on to become a Flight Attendant for Pan Am not too many years later in 1978, and stayed until its bankruptcy in 1991 at which point I went to Delta along with 2,000 of my colleagues. I left Delta in 2004 and am now working as an instructor and supervisor of Initial Training for Flight Attendants at Southwest Airlines in Dallas, Texas. The photos were taken during a holiday we took to Germany to visit my mother’s family. My parents have both passed on now and these photos bring back very happy memories. I still remember how excited I was to fly on Air Bahama. I hope you enjoy them and accept them with my best wishes. Perhaps you would like to pass this photo on to the hostess in the picture. With kind regards, Hank Wasiniak
