Re your mention of the AC uniform display at the BC Air Museum
at Sidney. It's an excellent display and it brings back great memories of
earlier days; definitely a must-see. The uniforms were collected and donated
to the museum by
the Victoria "Dogwood" Chapter of the Canadian Maple Wings Association,
which is composed of former and current TCA/Air Canada flight attendants.
Thanks for keeping us so well informed and in touch with our former
workmates. Lois North
