I used to have a couple of photos of Dee but can't seem to put my hands on them.   
She was a lot of fun to fly with.   
I flew several flights when I was a new hire with Dee and Rocky Crane.   
Dee came to FAL within a month of my hire-on date.

I was the uniform coordinator for inflight services and this was our softball team in 1980. 
Many of the ladies in this picture were part of the flight attendant union.

She and Myrtle were good friends.

Dee McKenna took me under her wing my first Thanksgiving in Denver. 
I was a young gal and had just gotten out of training. 
She was pretty senior and I was surprised that she invited me to her friend 
Michelle Wood's house to enjoy Thanksgiving with a bunch of other nice FAL folks. 
That's how FAL folks were, weren't they? I never forgot their kindness.
