I am a Southwest retiree, and I am now a volunteer at a school for homeless kids in San Diego. Monarch is a small school with only 100 or so kids but they do a great job with these kids. One graduate has a full scholarship to an east coast school. I gave the 5th grade teacher and his assistant the information on how to apply to the Adopt a Pilot program. Please please consider this school. I don't know if you have a minimum enrollment requirement but believe me this would be a great place to plant a seed in a mind that otherwise has little future to look forward to. Thank you and I hope to see that familiar sight of a SWA pilot walk into our school when the time comes. Remember, Monarch in San Diego.

Mary I probably know you but with the 'single' requirement in our day with Braniff, it's hard to place our old friends. I flew for Braniff from 1957-1963 and I was in MKC in '58. I also was a Southwest CSA from '96-07 when I retired here in SAN. I am now in process to serve in the Peace Corps. My departure will probably be early 2010 when I am closing in on 73 years old but still going strong. Love BI Love SWA--hope to hear from you and anyone out there who remembers me with either airline. Such good memories and more to come. Judy
