~ A Flight{s} Above Its Time...

... EASTERN AIRLINES... a personal look -{!}-

BY DANNY McCARTHY
ALL-WRITE -{!}- Why am I writing about EASTERN AIRLINES -{?}- 'Cause my mom worked first as a flight attendant {which made her sick} then she was transferred to be ground hostess. She was the only female on her shift. My mom was renown for telling us how DANNY KAYE entered the terminal "dressed-to-the-nines" w/ his entourage cursing as he requested to board a plane during a heavy snowstorm. Her male fellow co-workers proudly interfered expressing to DANNY KAYE {the "Hans Christian Anderson" film star} to not talk to my mom in his manner -{&}- that he could not take a flight at that time due to the weather conditions.
