Our new stenographer, "Billy" Livingstone, is working out very well - her accuracy is improving, she's attractive bright and cheerful and full of pep.

I picked up the new Life this evening and glancing through it suddenly saw a picture of the heart palpitating stewardess that John Downie and I bumped into on our Boston to Buffalo flight on June 8th.
