Reformatted with the "portrait" mode of an iPhone camera taking a shot of a computer screen...thus everyone is 6 feet tall and pencil thin. I was sort of, not that tall, but those were my thin days. 1963 Pan Am Flight Attendants training class. I'm second from right front row. Many of those not in uniform were the trainers.

Thanks to my second son for taking these photos from my ex-hubby's computer and sharing them with me.
That's three stages in my life within just 3 years! No comments about all the following years!

Wonderful photos of you, I am sure they are reminders of many happy times in your life.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a happy day!
I was surprised to see these on Christmas day. There was a big gathering of my family at my ex-husband's apartment. I'm glad they shared Christmas.
DeleteI was just looking through old photos today. It’s so great to have them.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of old photos by the time we get to be a certain age!
DeleteSomething about a New Year that has us reaching for our old photos - the nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteInteresting thought, following nostalgia.
DeleteI have trouble with old photos. Times past and time lost. Mistakes. I enjoyed seeing your photos, though! (ツ) from Jenn Jilks , ON, Canada!
ReplyDeleteThere certainly were plenty of those too! I sometimes like doing ancestry work where there's not much known about people, so I can fill in their lives with strength and courage and love between them...from my imagination.
DeleteGreat to have those old photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog.
Have a blessed day!
Thanks for stopping by. Hope your week is just fabulous.
DeleteWhat lovely photos! Please share more.
ReplyDeleteI will check and see if there are more...when I get a chance. Seems most of my parenting years I took photos of the little ones!
DeleteI love seeing these old photos of you. So beautiful, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteThanks, those years went by so fast, when I look back on them. Of course when I was living them each hour felt just as long as they do today. Strange.
DeleteWhat memories.
ReplyDeleteGreat changes happen fast sometimes, in a life.
Delete...wow Pan Am, those were the days!
ReplyDeleteI also interviewed with Americcan Airlines. Apparently something had changed and many more flights abroad (even South American counts as abroad in my mind) needed stafffing. I decided on Pan Am just because I loved Mexico when I'd visited it when 16 years old.
DeleteBarbara, I just love looking at old photos...especially when they relate to family and life experiences. Although my first flight on an airplane was in 1958 or 1959, I never had the pleasure of flying on Pan Am. My early flying experiences were on Lake Central, Mohawk, Capital and North Central Airlines. Nice photo of you and your classmates! By 1963 I was a student at Michigan State University. I remember walking across a parking lot on campus that fall...when I learned about JFK's assassination. Life marches on.... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteI bet anyone who was alive (above the age of 8 maybe) will remember where they were when they heard about JFK, just like 9/11. My first flight had been in 58, a TWA from St. Louis to DC...a continental, turbo prop. Incredibly I took off in a rear-facing seat!
