              Heart Attack Victim Aided by Employees
HONOLULU—Two Pan Am employees won high praise and respect for their efforts to revive a Honolulu man who collapsed and died at HNL Airport September 28. The man died of an apparent heart attack a few minutes after his return from a month’s trip to Alaska. Clarence E. Watson, 65, collapsed while awaiting his baggage with his wife and daughter. San Francisco-based Stewardess Sandra Colman and Hono­ lulu Fleet Service mechanic Bob Miller who happened to be near the stricken man, took turns at giving mouth-to-mouth resusci­ tation in heroic efforts to keep him alive. Although their attempts were unsuccessful, the two Pan Am employees exerted an outstanding effort trying to save the man’s life.

WHICH TWIN wears the Pan Am stewardess hat? Neither—yet. But both Ase, left, and Anne Marie Brekke have been accepted for training at the International Stewardess Col­ lege in Miami. Their classes start this winter, when the Norwegian twin sisters will trade in their skis for swimsuits and learn to do things the Pan Am way. Volume 27 October 15, 1967 No. 20

Pan A m Passengers Soon W ill Have ‘ Dou 9
By Mary Moore Mason LONDON — The Pan Am stewardess re­ cruiting team did a double take. Among the 450 girls being interviewed here were two lovely Scandinavian look-alikes. “Sisters ?” asked the team. “Identical twins,” the 22-year-old blondes seated side by side before the panel answered in unison. The daughters of a Norwegian hotel manager, Ase and Anne Marie Brekke learned about the London recruiting session while in Paris and dropped by enroute to Portugal. They both are fluent in French, German, English and various Scandinavian languages. They both have worked in several foreign countries: Anne Marie for a Yale professor writing a book in Berlin, and for a baron in P aris; Ase for an exporter in London and for a chemist in Paris. They both like the same books and skiing. And—they both said they’d always wanted to be stewardesses. The double act might confuse a passenger who’d just had four martinis, agreed the team, but what lovely confusion! Furthermore, the girls agreed they wanted to work for Pan Am even if one was based in San Francisco, the other New York. “We won’t always be living together any­ way—at least we hope we won’t,” said Anne Marie with a significant glance toward Ase. So this winter the two will pack up their .skis, leave snowy Norway and head for sunny Miami Beach. ^ After that passengers may discover that the tickets they buy include a doubles act.

P A A Wins Citation For U.S. Bond Drive
NEW YORK — Pan Ameri­ can has been awarded a cita­ tion by the Treasury Depart­ ment for the airline’s 1967 U.S. Savings Bond campaign. The citation was presented to President Harold E. Gray by Charles Goodall, the Treas­ ury’s Manhattan area man­ ager. “Everyone at Pan American World Airways should be proud that 12,409 employees (37 per cent) are availing themselves of this method of helping both themselves and their coun­ try,” Goodall wrote to Juan T. Trippe, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, noti­ fying him of the citation award. “4,938 individuals took positive action during the cam­ paign. “2,648 signed up for the first time and 2,300 took the oppor­ tunity to increase their allot­ ments. This is definitely the result of good planning and execution of the promotion. We appreciate the time and effort,” Goodall continued, “de­ voted to this worthwhile effort by Robert G. Ferguson, senior vice-president, Finance; John J. Henry, director of methods and procedures, Finance; and C. W. Birely Jr., director, Personnel.” Accepting the citation for Pan American, Gray remarked that “Pan Am employees are outstanding in their desire to be helpful to our society. They exhibit a sense of deep obliga­ tion to themselves and their families by participating in the Savings Bond campaign. They are a wonderful gang of people who know the value of what too many people regard as an old-fashioned idea: sav­ ing money. The campaign has increased our employees’ par­ ticipation by about $1.5 million a year.”
