    When I was in Basic at Lackland AFB (a fair bit futher south) I remember a DI saying something like "you boys can go AWOL if ya want, but we'll still be able to see ya 3 days later....".

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Being from Kansas now, but having had grandparents who lived out near Yellow House Switch, SE of Littlefield, TX where we visited often when I was a pup, I can attest that while we say Kansas is flat it's rolling plains are not flat like West Texas is flat. That area of Texas is like a pool table. Like everyplace it has some beautiful features, but you just have to look a little harder to find them, or wait for Mother Nature to bring them to you.

    Enjoy the change of scenery, Scooter! Being able to run up the road to visit Grandma is a very good thing!

    If it was good enuff for Buddy, Roy and Waylon then it can't be that bad. and remember just because the forecast predicts clear skies, doesn't mean they'll be blue.

    I live almost in sight of Flower Mound, Tech. And Jerry, I have known a couple of ladies there, and I have to say that neither of them mentioned you!

    I was born here and I have left several times but I always came crawling back. The reason? This has always been where the jobs are.

    It's good to hear from you, Scooter. Good luck.

    Jerry, I have lived in both Hereford (1966) and Amarillo (1978 to 1984). Our son was born in Amarillo. I was single in Hereford and had a couple of girl friends there and by this time they would definitely qualify as OLD girl friends.

    I was Braniff's manager in Amarillo when the company began to sink.

    I liked living in the Texas "pan handle" a lot. My lovely wife didn't dig it one bit so, consequently, we moved and I took a job with a construction company.

    Braniff-----didn't they use aliens for stewardess????


    I loved the paint scemes---I even was called down there for an interview for flight crew----their flight the night before was very late and I had gotten up early that morning ( 4 am) because I started at 6, so I slept in till 10am and went to personel for early afternoon interview--after the tests and stuff I had to do an interview with chief pilot but since he had already interviewed enough guys for the number of openings in the next class, he went home and to play golf or something like that---------
    Personel peeps were upset -----------

    I can see where a person might come to a space alien conclusion if they saw a couple of our flight attendants wearing clear acrylic helmets topping their uniforms. Braniff merged with Mid Continent Airlines sometime before they used bad judgement and hired me. That deal gave Braniff a few cities known for having winters that are less that hospitable. places like Minneapolis, Sioux Falls, and yep ..... Amarillo. Some of our young ladies seemed to think that blowing snow and ice had a bad effect on their hair-do when they had to leave the aircraft (usually a posh Convair 340 or 440). The helmets did cause some wiseass commentary but, I'm told, they did serve a utilitarian purpose. I never heard a girl say that they liked the things, or even ever put one on their head for anything other than pictures.


    One thing I do know is that somewhere under the thing was probably a plenty good looking female!
