As I reminisce, I keep coming back to Margaret Bassetti. I have had several book signings and my last was another signing at the Salt Lake Airport for my book "More Than a Ticket Memoirs Flying with American Airlines from Props to Jets," however none have been as touching as my first book signing with Margaret Bassetti. You might say that this post is a picture scrapbook with a picture worth a whole bunch of words. My desire is that it highlights how an American Airlines' passenger can become a wonderful friend. Margaret was on my Jan. 25, 1959 Inaugural Flight from Los Angeles to New York, Margaret as a passenger and I as her stewardess. Positive relationships are key to having a friendship. Stewardesses were trained to think of others with a smile, magazine, pillow, blanket, and the spirit of how can I help make your life comfortable. Think of her as your mother.
Passenger Margaret Bassetti became a dear friend.

Argie, You are such a wonderful person! Auntie Margaret truly believed you two were connected in spirit and soul. She also thought the book was about her, but I let her carry on with that thought. :-) Your words are touching. Your use of my words brought me to tears. Thank you for being you, for your love of Auntie, and for your friendship. They are all what connects me to you. And for that, I am grateful. Lorraine
