My mother, Iris Leone Newby, 
was a stewardess on Central in the early-mid fifties. 
I have several 8X10 photos of her at Central.  
Most of them, if not all, appear to be promotional.  
Would you like to have a look?

GREAT hearing from you.
I have a file on your mom because she was in the
first class of Central stewardesses in 1953.
The airline had used stewards before then.
Please email any photos you wish to share.
When did your mom leave Central?
Is she still alive?
Regards,

My mom worked at Central in the early to mid fifties.  
I was born in 56...I think she left them when she married in '55.  
Her name was Iris Leone Newby, her friends called her "Pug".   
My mom died in 1974.  
I will try and scan the photos I have and send them to you.  
You are welcome to post them on your website, if you please.
Oh...she also might have gone by "Lee".

I found her file I created last year when you emailed me.
I'm looking forward to receiving your scans and building a memorial webpage
for her at the Central/Frontier Airlines website.
