Favorite childhood memory:  One of my favorite childhood memories is the first time I flew in a plane with my dad as the pilot.  He works for American Airlines, and our family traveled together during one of his layovers.  I was seven at the time, and my younger sister and brother (five and two) were sitting with me.  My mom was trying not to attract attention in the plane and keep us quiet, but as soon as we landed and my dad’s voice came on over the intercom my brother started screaming, “that’s my daddy!” over and over again.  So much for being discreet!  What a great flight though.  I was so in awe of the job he does every day, and still am.
