I don't have many pictures of my cherished ONA days, but here is one which was recently restored by our Arts Director. Most of my pictures were lost in a flood in 1973 in Kansas City. 
I have two wonderful children, my son is a pilot and my daughter Michelle lives in Nashville and is married, Sean is single. Enjoyed seeing the pictures of the re-unions, hurray for digital photos!! My son Sean, who flies for Delta is stationed in New York. He recently flew with one former ONA Flight Attendant, her name is Irma Mehnert (below). Her last name during ONA days was Planas. Irma told Sean there are 4 others from ONA who are with Delta now. Neil Graumann, Agnes Lamb, Elke Gross and Frances Machesney. You all take care, its a gorgeous day in Missouri!

ONA CREW REUNION NEW YORK 2003I attended the New York reunion October 25,2003 but flew to Switzerland the day after and did not attend the brunch on Sunday. Nowadays I run the Membership Department for the Missouri State Medical Association and am the Executive Director of the ACOG Section which includes all the Ob-GYN Doc's in the state of Missouri. In addition to that I staff all medical students and the International Medical Graduates. I had to learn a lot about the medical profession though and I am still learning every day. My job is interesting, I travel often, and I am required to write reports in our magazine about my travels and what is happening with all the societies around the state.
