Fasten your uniform buttons and get ready to travel back to the golden age of air travel.

In this historical portrayal, historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., tells you the exciting, true story about the real-life stewardesses for Pan Am, the most glamorous U.S. airline. Learn about serving the rich and famous, about the strict height, weight and age require- ments, about cooking gourmet meals and enduring some wild rides. Buckle up – this is one flight you won’t forget.

Please join us for this lyrical and often eye-opening multimedia presen- tation, one we hope will reveal perspectives you may not have considered previously.
