Cannot find her on any of my rosters and seniority lists.

Patty Kirwin and I attended Weaver Airline School in spring of 1959 and were hired in April of that year.  
Patty was a free spirit & would tell you what she was thinking.  
I remember one time on  a flight either in LBF or GRI, 
she told a psgr to go piss up a rope and she may have got some time off, but I am not sure.   
I believe Patty may have left when she got married, which was probably the mid 1960's.  
Janet Avakian may know more.
