Let's see how many old Monarch Lines people are still out there.
Question: Does anyone remember Monarch Pilot Joe Romano?
How about  Indians at Gallup New Mexico and Joe
getting burlap bag from Indians then into rear baggage area.
This was the worst flight that I ever had with Monarch 
although the air was calm and a great day for flying.
Always Monarch,

Dick may be the only living Monarch steward.
I suspect it was him in the rear cargo pit getting those burlap bags.
Joe Romano was the captain on the CV340 which crashed and burned at GRI on Dec 21, 1962.
The co-pilot Karl Bancroft was flying at the time.
Joe retired Sep 5,1980 after 34 years and died Jul 30, 1992 at age 71.

The little story that I was telling you was my only flight with Joe and he bought rattlesnakes from the indians 
and shipped them to his brother in Flordia to milk venom. I really did not like that trip.
