SHANNON SHIFT
By Bob Dowley
SHANNON — Transition of service, staff and operations from one side of the Shannon to the other has been one of the many problems facing Station Manager Jesse Boynton. All staff members in Foynes and Adare have now moved into the Ardhu House Hotel in Limerick for permanent residence. In addition the two layover crews are accommodated there. The Operations, Dispatch, and Traffic offices were established at Rineanna on October 27.
From a traffic point of view Foynes has closed its long career as a Pan American Airport with a few records of its own for 1945 and possible for its history. On Oct. 8th Capt. Hart took out the largest cabin load for the season, 3442 kilos, and the largest mail load of the season, 3466 lbs., on Trip 3442. On Trip 3448, Oct. 15th, Captain Gulbransen took out the record passenger load for the past two years, 31. U. S. Lines office in Dublin reported sales for September were up to a new high and still higher for October. From Eire in September 24 local passengers were carried across the Atlantic and in October the figure went to 28 with an ever increasing passenger potential building up when space becomes available on DC4s.
Staff' Moves
New staff recently added here are Bob Nelson of Lisbon, Hank Booth as chief mechanic, Jim Leet of Operations who is moving on to Boving-ton Airport in England. Gregory Shortell and wife are expected soon, the former to become Port Steward at Rineanna. They are the proud possessors of a furnished apartment in Limerick which is not to be tossed off lightly.
Another recent addition to our staff is Gene Kelly, Jr., who at the age of two years has scooped Limerick as the “Esquire” boy of the year. Attired in the latest Boston fashions Gene may be seen at the Ardhu House where he is becoming “tuffened” to Irish life. Other new arrivals include Jim “Erin” McGuiness, Joe Leone, Jim Lee, George Tendruf.
A large dinner and send-off was accorded Paddy (Dave) O’Davenport late in September when after 18 months here he retired to Ohio for a health campaign. There is no truth in the rumor that he has applied for Irish citizenship. Hop-a-long Harold (can you read my writing) Egger has also left our ranks on a recent survey flight. He is going to New York to purchase some specially insulated flannels and thence will take up his winter vigil on the Newfoundland ice cap.
Ray Moore, the “Knight of Knockpatrick” also departed recently, sans tools. Golf course activity finds Jesse Boynton showing marked signs of improvement under Bob Wallace’s critical eye, Alex the “Swoose” playing close-to-par golf, and Bob Dowley losing money to all comers. Confirmation was received that State Department courier Will Kendall won his transatlantic race with the stork by six days when he departed from Foynes on September 2.
Two Shopmen Get Suggestion Money
Only two awards were voted at the last meeting of the Suggestion Committee—one of a $50 War Bond to Carl E. Baum of Plane Service and one of $5 in stamps to Stanley Dud-zinski of Commercial Plane Service.
Carl’s idea was for a special gun for shooting soapstone under the de-icer boots on the land- Clippers. The method saves six man hours per service, cutting the total time to two hours per plane.
Stanley suggested the screen door at the hallway entrance to the Battery Shop to stop employes from using the shop as a thoroughfare.
METAL SHOP
TO HOLD BALL
On Saturday night, Dec. 8, the Clipper Club will be the scene of a good old-fashioned get-together when the Metal Shop plays host for their 2nd Annual Ball. Refreshments will be free and set-ups will be available. Howie Meehan and his Modernaires will play for dancing starting at 9 PM when the fun begins.
Everyone is invited and assured a good time since the purpose of the dance is to promote good-will within the company and encourage closer departmental relations. Tickets may he purchased from Bob Bucelli, Ralph Nathocher, Rosemarie Horton and John Komminos, all of the Metal shop. Admission: $1.00.
Capt. Pippinger Is 10 Years With PAA: 62 Others Honored
Captain Daniel W. Pippinger, ‘Pip’ to all his associates, celebrated 10 years of service with PAA on November 1, and was presented with his 10 year service pin by Chief Pilot ‘Chile’ Vaughn.
Pip’s airmindedness dates back to 1932 when he became a flying cadet at Randolph Field. He was graduated from Kelly Field in 1933 and was stationed at Brooks Field where he served two years as a 2nd lieutenant.
In 1935 he became affiliated with Pan American in Brownsville as a Junior Pilot. He checked out as Captain in 1937 and he stayed at that station until 1941, flying the route to Trinidad. In 1941 he transferred to the Atlantic division where he has flown every route of the division. He was made Master Pilot in 1942.
Other Recipients
Presentation of past due pins was also made to four employes stationed at Horta: Jose Bettencourt, Artur Bettencourt, Jose Tavares and Alvaro Nunes. Pat Rafferty, who has been on military leave received his three-year emblem, as did Vincent Driscoll, who became eligible for his award on September 30.
A total of 11 five-year pins and 45 three-year emblems were awarded Atlantic Division personnel stationed at North Beach and line stations. Four A-0 employes stationed at North Beach were presented with five-year emblems and four received three-year pins.
