July, 1958. TWA #804, IDL-ORY (New York, Idlewild -now Kennedy- to Paris, Orly, for those of you too young to remember.)

N7101C; Lockheed Super "G" Constellation.

I was almost eight.

It was also my mothers' first flight. She had talked Dad into going to see the relatives in Italy and booked steamship tickets. He said he didn't have time to go by ship, fly or forget it. We flew.

Dad had to come home before we did. We were still booked on a ship coming home. Three days before we were to leave Italy she cashed in the boat tickets and booked us back on TWA. She never set foot on another ship or train for almost forty years.

Fly or forget it. I agreed with that for a long time.
