MEMORY-MAKING ON SEPT 1: FLIGHT FROM HONOLULU TO HOUSTON, TEXAS

     
     

     We were going to Amarillo, Texas for a visit to Anib-Israel and his family. We were aboard Continental Air Lines Flight 72, Honolulu to Houston on Nov. 19, 2006. The pilot was Bill Lewis who was retiring that day after accumulating more than 26,000 hours of flight time. Joining him on this flight was his lovely wife Ann, daughtert Andrea and sob-in-law Mike Hubka, daughters Kate and Robyn and family friend Susan Manglesdorff. He was 60. The pilot make a quick appearance after we landed at the Houston International Airport, where we took a smaller airplane for Amarillo. Anib-Israel, our fourth child, and his wife Dianne, were working at the Northwest Hospital. We spent six months in Amarillo, where we experienced the first snow.
