As you know by now, this blog is about my book: More Than A Ticket Props to Jets
There is a celebrity section in the book and having been a passenger on one of my flights Ricardo Montalban is mentioned. This is how he looked.
How did it all start? Well one day in January and the year was 2009, as I sat watching TV and I seldom do that kind of activity, I said to my son Daniel, " I remember Ricardo Montalban. He just died." Daniel suggested that I start a blog to share my life as a stewardess and to talk to the blog about this and that. Who lived and who died and when I knew them; would be of interest to some body over 70 years and still growing. With absolutely no idea how to start a blog, Daniel sat down with his mom, me, and away we went into a world I never would have imagined I would be a part of and still here I sit trying to think of something to say. And really, it is not difficult for me to prattle on and on.
My blog morphed into a book: More Than A Ticket Props to Jets
It has been a significant journey for me. As I write and write, I find out more about me; who I am and who I want to be.
I have a really great editor and she is working at the task of putting the words together for a delightful read. Kudos to Lauren!
Thanks for dropping by and have a Happy Heart Day.

ReplyDeleteI have started another blog. This time about the celebrities on my flights. There is a section in the book about them. I will highlight a different individual each day. Today it is Ricardo Montalban. He was a really nice gentleman. As a family man, he married Georgiana Young (née Georgiana Paula Belzer; September 10, 1924–November 13, 2007), who had a brief acting and modeling career, in 1944; they had four children. Georgiana was the half-sister of the actresses Sally Blane, Polly Ann Young, and movie and television star Loretta Young, who nicknamed her "Georgie". After sixty-three years of marriage, she died at the age of 83, It is reported that his Catholic religion was the most important thing to him. I appreciated the opportunity of welcoming him aboard our flight.
I want to be the first one to buy your book. Tell me how!!!
