The Clipper Crowd NEWS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE PERSONNEL OF PAN-AMERICAN AIRWAYS

By Nancy Humphreys Now it can be told-one of Pan Am's old timers is soon to settle down with a recent addition to J. O. Merckling's office - beautiful Betsy. You've guessed it - the happy couple are Miss Mary Elizabeth Siewars and A. E. Peterson. Mr. Peterson is statistician for the Eastern Division; he's been with Pan American for years; Miss Siewars, who is the daughter of Mrs. William A. Siewers and the late Mr. Siewers of Scarsdale, N. Y., is a well-educated young lady. She was graduated from Ursuline Academy in Middletown, N. Y., and attended Potsdam Normal in Potsdam, N. Y., in addition to receiving her business training at Buxby Business College in St. Petersburg, Fla. Mr. Peterson was graduated from Yale University in 1919. No definite date has yet been set for the wedding. (Now being "broken in" to replace Miss Siewers is Miss Louise Pence.) Before leaving on a swing around South America, Chris de Groot of New York, liason officer for Pan-Grace, entertained at a dinner at the Versailles Hotel. Among the guests present were: Mr. and Mrs. Homer Lyon, Earle N. Parker, jr., Glenn B. Lawrence, John W. Evans, Jr., E. Spencer Garrett, Paul H. Muller, James H. McConnell, Arthur Nugent, George Bullen, Louis Lam, Marie Woodruff, Michael J. Henry, Edward Torrey from Havana, and Fred A. Stoddard. C. E. (Dinty) Moore, who was Communications manager for PAA in Buenos Aires for years is now temporarily in the Executive offices in the Aviation Building. He came to Miami purportedly to be stationed in Traffic-but the departure of Peter Belin for Washington left the executive offices shorthanded. Mr. Moore is staying at 3125 S. W. 3rd Street while in Miami. George Eyers, sr. hit the Newark Evening News one day last week. Dick Kirschbaum, aviation editor of the Newark Evening News, was wandering through Pan Am's Dinner Key Hangars looking for copy when he spied Mr. Eyers, whom he had known back in the days when Mr. Eyers was connected with the motor building factory of the Aeromarine Corporation in Nutley, N. J. And so Mr. Eyers became the hero of one of the series of stories that Kirschbaum is writing about P.A.A. for his paper. Incidentally, one of the course connected with the American Navigation Section which is training 850 navigators for the United States Army. Edward G. Robinson, it seems, learned a thing or two about pigeon-raising during the filming of "A Dispatch from Reuters" - at least he delivered a very comprehensive lecture on that subject to Voit Gilmore (of the Division Manager's office) at a dinner party at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington on the night of the President's inauguration. Mr. Gilmore must have found that a very interesting dinner - he was flanked on one side by Mr. Robinson and on the other by Florida's own Senator Claude Pepper. And those snapshots this ardent photographer took of the administrating of the oath of office to the President were excellent - they should be-they were taken from Section A. Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed on the President's platform, to which Mr. Gilmore had admission. In Buenos Aires to study the advertising problems in "the South American way" has gone John Dey, Advertising Representative for Pan Am's Eastern Division. Mr. Dey left by Brazilian Clipper last Friday; expects to be away till about the middle of February. Here on a familiarization trip is Sr. Richardo Arango, District Sales Manager in Panama City for P.A.A. Sr. Arango is the house guest of Frank Longshore at 3489 Devon Road, Coconut Grove. Now in Miami burning midnight oil over the Latin America rate case are John Yeomans, assistant to the vice-president and treasurer from the financial department in New York, and K. G. Buckley, from our Brownsville office. Miss Mary Maguire is assisting in the stenographic work temporarily. Seen lunching in the Clipper Dining Room at Dinner Key recently was Devon Francis, aviation editor of the Associted Press, who has just started a trip around South America by Clipper plane. Published in two of Miami's daily papers during the past week were three of Mr. Francis' advance stories on his trip, dealing with the international situation in Latin America as it affects Pan American Airways. Not only were these stories informative; they were also extremely comprehensive and interesting. Now learning the ropes in the maintenance department at Dinner Key are Joseph L. Dasher, Maynawd W. Webber, John B. Perry, William E. Meyer, and T. J. Yelvington. Pan American's skating night at the Ice Palace has been changed from Thursday to Friday. Among the large crowd that turned out for the session last Friday night were: Harry Sanborn, Mrs. Blanch Elmore, Jimmie Less, Moreau Brown, Miss Clara Deigaard, Mrs. Eloise Perry, Fred Culham, Miss Betty Bingham, August Peng and son, George, Miss Beatrice Bursefield, and Mrs. Helen McNichols. Scheduled to break in the February issue of "New Horizons" is the story ofza recent spectacular deed of Captain Frank Briggs, senior pilot for Pan American, now stationed in Rio. The voice of Captain Briggs was heard round the world last week on a Columbia Broadcasting System hook-up, when he appeared on a special program while on a regular flight from Rio to Buenos Aires. Captain Briggs will be remembered by many Gableitos as a former resident. In Coconut Grove renewing old acquaintances was a man who probably knows as much about what's going on in the (Please turn to Page 4)
