Question
Mr. NewMyer,

First, I wanted to thank you for answering my question recently about becoming a corporate flight attendant in the Palwaukee Airport area.  I appreciated it.  

Secondly, I wanted to say that my sister's husband took a few of your classes and he wanted me to say hello to you.  He wasn't sure you would remember him but his name is Dan Windett and he graduated in 1983.  He is Captain on the airbus for Northwest Airlines now.  So,  "hello"  from Dan and he really enjoyed your classes at Carbondale.  

Thanks again!

Answer
HI,

Thanks so much for the "hello" from Dan Windett....yes, it has been a while since I have seen him, but, tell him I have a vague memory (always late with his papers!!!)  Ha ha.  Tell him to come to the next Chicago area aviation alumni reception....it will be held at Priester Aviation at Palwaukee Airport in Sept 2008.

Best wishes to you on your corporate flight attendant career...and thanks for passing along that message.  If you think I can be of any other help, just email me at newmyer@siu.edu and pass that email address along to Dan if you do not mind.

Happy Holidays,
