Flying is definitely my passion. The largest airplane I have flown is a 737 for Airtran. I have a lot of hours flying in the Bahamas. Let me tell you about my engine out experience at the reunion!

Wanted to be a cheerleader but could not cartwheel. At one game some of my "friends" decided it would be fun to "pants" me. I had to go to therapy for that. (Just kidding!)

Diane,

Let me know if you have a picture with the names on it. I can name most of them but could use help with a few. That second row, L-R, is you, Genie, Jana, Joan Whipple, unknown, Betsy Gibson, Greg Kindt, Steve Gardner, Jan Stein. Any help with the guy in the middle would be appreciated.

Jana, this is the oldest picture I have from Kensington and I'm not sure what grade it is but no later than 3rd or 4th. You and Genie are together in the 2nd row, correct? I'm in the top row with, among others, Gordie Gray and Tom Allen. We too spent many hours in the Beaconsfield center strip playing cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers, whatever combative game we could think up. If it weren't for us, you and Genie wouldn't have been safe in the center strip back then. It was a pretty rough place. How times have changed. Back then the cowboys were the guardians, now the Indians are!

Thanks for bringing back those fond memories of Genie and Kensington. Were you there from 1st grade? Wish I had a picture of that class. I think it's amazing how many of us graduated from RRHS together.

I'm going to really miss Genie at the reunions. She was always entertaining and made everyone have as good a time as she was having. She was a very impressive lady in many ways but I always admired that she was a commercial airline pilot before there were very many females in that industry. RIP, Genie. I'll always remember you and miss you.
