2GN2S ...
A 94-year-old former flight attendant saw a photo of herself at the airport.
Earlier
this year, Gwendolyn Bruhn, 94, traveled from her home on the Hawaiian
island of Oahu to the Hawaiian island of Maui to attend her
great-granddaughter's wedding. In
the inter-island departure terminal at Daniel K. Inouye International
Airport in Honolulu, Bruhn came face to face with an unexpected
surprise.
On the terminal wall was a large photograph from 1947,
depicting Hawaiian Airlines flight attendants lined up in front of an
aircraft, each wearing the uniform of the time: crisp shirt, mid-length
skirt, flowers pinned in their hair. Bruhn is one of the Hawaiian Airlines flight attendants in the
photograph. She's on the far right, in the top corner of the frame,
gazing just past the camera.

I haven't done a Dad story in quite a while. While hunting for smiles, I came across this one and had even labelled it "Dad".
This was my Dad, to a tee. He said he "hauled" Clint Eastwood a couple of times. He said he was a nice enough guy. Dad liked him because he looked at his Mason Shoes catalog that Dad conveniently carried in whatever car the studio gave him to pick up whichever star he was driving that day. Dad sold enough shoes to get awards from Mason Shoes. He already had the opinion at top, on his own. And he definitely didn't sugar coat.
Just because ...

Your are the graphic queen. Love what you did digitally to Caught.
Wasn't Gwendolyn Bruhn a beauty? I think she was smiling when she saw this picture and proud of her work. Such a great idea to honor all these women.
Thanks, John, another simple one.
How are you feeling?
Yes, I agree, she was and probably still is a beauty. I think that is why old photos are so special?
Great story. When I was young and fresh out of high school I wanted to be an airline steward. I wanted to travel and see the world. Gwendolyn must have seen and visited many of my bucket list places. Lucky lady.
Thank you, Anonymous! (initials next time?)
Yes, I think a lot of us that would be exciting.
