I do not like to talk about myself. Really, I do not, however I do like to talk about my book: More Than a Ticket. And why do I like to talk about the book? There is not a word in it that is not valued by me. Every time I wrote text and selected the pictures, I pondered and looked for inspiration to choose the right words and pictures to tell the story. There are themes that run through the book: family relationships, education, employment, validation, patriotism, message to the young, religion, and it is all tied together with the cement of the work ethic. And as Daddy would say, "Sis, get up and amount to something!"
As you read the book and it becomes your friend, just know that I would like to be traveling where the book goes to also be making new friends. Let me know how you like the book: argie.ella@gmail.com
More Than a Ticket Memoirs Flying with American Airlines from Props to Jets
Authored by Argie Ella Hoskins
Cover: The new Boeing 707 Jet. This book welcomes the reader with snapshots during the golden age of flying from carrying mail to a time when excited passengers were treated as guests and everyone dressed in their Sunday best to board American Airlines. It is engaging and appreciated.We served the flying public with much, much "More Than a Ticket." We had time to hang coats, learn names, have a conversation, serve a delicious meal and hold babies. You will feel the excitement of times gone by and get a glimpse of how the atmosphere of air travel has changed through the years. The drama of time has created a different picture.
Part one: "My Life as a Stewardess," takes the reader on a journey with a shy country girl to the city, but she is still a country girl as she becomes a confident stewardess serving all passengers, including the rich and famous, making everyone feel at home. How did she do it? Part two: "On Wings of Time," features short stories from AA stewardesses, pilots, flight engineers, and passengers. The young and old, casual readers and aviation enthusiasts will be delighted with memoirs.
Stewardess Argie, "Am I cut out for this job?" “They say I am Dyslexic.” "Make friends with your cognitive gifts." (Stewardess on Boeing 707 jet inaugural flight and also did public relations for AA.)
I have dedicated these words with love and respect to my flying friends. An expression of appreciation for the community of American Airlines.
Somewhere in the clouds of time, we met, embraced, and parted. Moments remembered from here to eternity. —Argie

Hi Argie! I Love your unusual name. It has been a long time since I opened any book and read it through. With the animals, my sewing and crafts, and gardening, I keep busy. But, I read your book and enjoyed every page. It brought back many memories of the 1950's. Memories of Daddy's business trips to New York and his telling me about the stewardesses and how nice they were.
My only disappointment in reading your book was that it ended too quickly. I had seen the picture of you and your four sons and was excited to hear more about your life. How you met your husband. Was it on a flight, etc. Guess that would make another good book. Fact is, I was reading and enjoying the book and when I reached the picture of you and your sons, I didn't want the story to end.
I am very glad I bought and read your book, "More Than a Ticket". It will stay on my coffee table. I enjoy going back and looking at the pictures. Thank you!
Thanks for your support and thrilled that it was a good read for you. I encourage readers to share the book for a special gift because you can't miss with the broad content which has a general appeal. I am grateful for your kind report. Have a wonderful seasonal joy of sharing the spirit of Thanksgiving and friendship during the coming weeks. Argie
