I brought the episode up this weekend and we spent several hours discussing it. He particularly remembers meeting Mr. Repo's daughter in the Mobile airport and after seeing her nametag he was going to ask her if she was who he thought she was. He said she looked up at him as he approached and he said she had such a look of dread on her face when she saw him look at her tag that he just asked her how she was and said what pretty hair she had and walked away. He is 81 years old and he vividly recalled the incident.
It is such a difficult subject, but please know that none of you have been forgotten, nor the majestic airline that us just a memory now. It was so amazing seeing the photographs, logos and uniforms that I remember so well. I have been researching Eastern since the show and have found some amazing pics.
I just wanted to say God Bless and thank the creator if this site for keeping the memory of all the survivors, and ones who perished, alive.
