Vinal is piloting planes in the Atlantic fleet for Pan American Airways. Until last week the Vinals lived at 1200 Alhambra Circle and Linda Louise, who was born in San Francisco and Richard, Jr., "Bu" (born in Miami) have done their share of flying, but not nearly as much as little Polly Scott, four, and the eldest of the trio of young daughters of Capt. and Mrs. L. T. Scott, (the others are Midge, two, and Bonnie, eight months) also Pan American fliers, now occupying the Vinal house. When Polly was but one month old she flew with her parents to Rio; before she was five months she had flown 15,000 miles, probably holds a world record. * * * Little Mary Margaret Johnston was just two Wednesday, so her mother, Mrs. Thomas Johnston, invited a score of her little friends in to celebrate.
