GUNILLA AT AIRLINE CELEBRATION
NOVEMBER 26, 2005
Wonderful photos on the IAB crew web! I have a correction on the photos (below!) from David Stone / JD´son, On photo no 2 to the right of the one of JD and Don in the cockpit, JD is to the left, the two of us and Larry Swartz to the right, BUT that is not Larry, its Will Rogers. He flew co-pilot with IAB, maybe captain after I quit. Later he flew captain for Larry Grew's crewing company in Fort Lauderdale. He was the captain of a DC-8 accident during landing in Suriname. The passengers were a soccer team and it all happened during a bad weather landing. Co-pilot was Charlie Rose, Pan Am and it was 1985 or -86 while I was with Pan Am. 		One of the unknowns in the group photo is Brownie, Charlie Brown and the pilot outside the LUX office is Emmet Hayes. These are still the J.D.(David) Stone pictures I am referring to. I am busy teaching initial f/a training classes and recurrent ones at the Delta Atlanta training center for World Airways. A lot of trees are now forever gone from Miami Lakes where the Wilma hurricane did a lot of damage. Whatever tree did not fall, lost the majority of foilage and branches, and is a fall like feeling as all leaves have fallen and we will see what returns in a few weeks in our normally permanent summerlike community. I had my two little grand boys Keiran and Aidan with me during the hurricane. It puts a spin on your imagination when a 4 and 5 year old is with no power at your home for an extended time period. We had picnics on the floor at the dining room glass doors, the only ones with no storm shutters and some daylight. Candle light and food on the grill was exciting, heat and mosquitos were not. It all went well and I am one more experience richer for having managed.
Best from Gunilla, Florida
