You know Jeff you have helped me recall a memory that got wiped out of my consciousness:
I was on a cramped little plane flying back from Atlanta to Roanoke in January, the Steward was a handsome looking man in his early to mid 30s, total beefcake, receding hairline masked by a buzz cut. He was very irreverent in his cabin announcements, flirted openly with a woman up front having a birthday and carried on something with most everyone on the plane. wide face, handsome smile, a total dream boat.
Then I stepped off the boat telling him I had enjoyed my flight "Thank you, come again" he smiled back.
To the bagage claim, to the car and out on to the interstate, click on NPR: "The body of actor Heath Ledger was found in his apartment in lower Manhattan this afternoon......" and until now the memory of that Steward was buried behind tragedy.
