I have been informed by the son of Western Air Line Captain Bill Plaskett, his dad “Went West” October 23, 2018 at the age of 91. Captain Plaskett’s son will be providing a tribute to his father to be posted for his Western Airline fellow pilots. No other details are available at this time. When I receive his tribute, it will be posted.

Dick, I appreciate the opportunity to announce Janice’s passing. Before the merger, she was a supervisor at the SLC hub coordinating office (HCO).
The link for her obituary is: www.metcalfmortuary.com
When the page is opened, there is a link “Photo Gallery” which includes her Frontier Airlines Stewardess graduation photo from 1959. Thanks for your support – it’s much appreciated.

>> We wanted to let you know, Martie Stevenson passed away on October 11, 2018 in La Quinta, CA surrounded by her loving family. As many of you know, Martie had MSA (Multiple System Atrophy). This disease is related to Parkinson’s but the symptoms present themselves differently. She put up a valiant effort and remained strong up to the very end.

>> As an organ donor, Mom always supported learning and research. In honoring her beliefs, we are deeply comforted with the decision to donate her brain to science through Cure PSP. We also ask in lieu of flowers, donations be made to CurePSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). Cure PSP, https://www.psp.org/iwanttohelp/ways-to-give/ is a research program in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic that provides much needed research, awareness, education, care, and hopefully a cure for prime of life brain diseases such as MSA, Parkinson’s and ALS.

>> Many have asked about service details, per her wishes, there will be no services. We will honor her in other ways. Thank you for being such great friends to our parents over the years. The three of us have experienced firsthand the love and friendships you had and heard many stories of the fun adventures our parents experienced with many of you.

Ladies and Gents,

I have been gently corrected concerning the luncheon price.

Those of you who have been attending will remember that the cost was NOT $20!

 

LUNCH, INCLUDING TAX AND GRATUITY IS $28.00

It IS WORTH IT!

Mea Culpa

See you and 22 others tomorrow.
