More Than a Ticket Memoirs Flying with American Airlines from Props to Jets BOOK TALK
Last week, I walked into Barnes & Noble to see if their catalog had listed my book: More Than a Ticket Memoirs Flying with American Airlines from Props to Jets.
After asking, the clerk said, "We have the book on our shelves." Really!

I
almost lost my balance. My book in Barnes & Noble, it couldn't be,
but there it was and it really has my name on it! This is in Orem,
Utah. If the book is not on the shelve, they will order it, no matter where the
store is located.

Yesterday,
I met two ladies who had flown with Pan Am and a United stewardess as
they sat sharing bits of their stories. Many teachers were in the crowd
who shared my adventure as a teacher. This journey of Book Talk has
made new friends and when I was invited to speak in a home setting a
while ago, I found a friend from the 60s, now retired and wow another
thrill.
My path has taken me into
groups who are making my book their friend. Sometimes, it has been more
than a signing, but actually having a conversation about the culture of
the 50s and 60s of airline travel.
When
asked to speak, I wonder what I am going to say in a different way than
before, however the group seems to guide me along with their interest
while sharing and asking questions. At first, I was not comfortable with
questions, but now it is super because I know what people are really
interested in hearing about from an old stewardess. Great time!
Perhaps
it is just to see how many wrinkles I have after all the years of
living. I have not disappointed them. Yes and for a weight check, also.
This
dear lady, Julia has arranged for me to do the Book Talk twice. Having
read and reread, she has been a great supporter for sharing the book.
