American and Canadian Friends

• USMC, the United States Marine Corps. There are many lady soldiers in the United States (2003). The U.S.marines are the toughest soldiers in the world, but they are also known to be warm-hearted individuals.
  1. Navy.The U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis is an elite college producing top-class scientists. Jimmy Carter (the president of the United States 1977-1981) studied here, and was a nuclear engineer. Albert Abraham Minchelson was the first American Nobel Laureate in physics. He was an Annpolis graduate. Click here for my webpage dedicated to Michelson.
  2. Brilliant Naval Officers. I was told that the Naval Academy's main business is to produce able naval officers. I met one brilliant Annapolis graduate in Gdansk (Poland 2010). This photo was taken at Gdansk's most prestigious sea food restaurant. They are NATO admirals from Britain, Italy, Poland, France, and the United States. The lady on my right is an Annapolis graduate, and she (from the U.S. Navy) is naturally the boss of this NATO group. She became very happy when I mentioned Michelson.
  3. Navy officer from the U.S. 7th Fleet during the Christmass-eve mass at the St. Peter's Cathedral, Vatican (2015). She is an electrical engineer. She became impressed when I asked whether she came from Yokoska, Japan. I seem to know many things in this world.
  4. The campus of the U.S. Naval Academy.

  1. Students from Rutgers. These three young ladies from Rutgers University were spending a weekend in Princeton's Hyatt Regency Hotel (February 2002). They said they like this hotel because it has a nice swimming pool, when I met them in an elevator one hour earlier. They became very close to me when I told them I am a professor, and they would wait for this photo on my webpage. You would agree that America is a beautiful country.
  2. with a Vassar student on the Miami Beach (January 2004). Before Princeton University became co-educational in 1969, Princeton boys had special relations with Vassar girls. Vassar also became co-educational in 1969. They decided their own boys.

• In October of 2013, Princeton University gave a big re-union event in order to strengthen the organization of graduate alumni. I am in this photo (second from left on the third row). When I was a student (1958-61), there were no girls. Princeton started granting PhD degrees to women in 1973. It was indeed exciting to see so many female Princeton PhDs there. Here is a pdf version of this photo.

  2. I had a photo of myself in front of this tomb, but I wanted to brag about myself to some people.
  3. I then met an American lady with her Australian friend. They spoke English.
  I explained to them Fermi was the person who opened the nuclear age while he was a professor at the University of Chicago. These ladies then asked me whether I met Fermi. I said No, but told them my PhD thesis advisor at Princeton was Fermi's student. They then became impressed, and were very happy to have a photo with a Princeton boy.

• Northwest. These NW ladies were still cheerful after a tiresome trans-Atlantic flight from Amsterdam to Washington's Dulles Airport. This photo was taken on a moving lounge at the Dulles Airport (May 2003).

  I took a NW flight when I was coming to the United States from Korea in 1954 right after my high school. Those NW ladies took care of me well. One of them scolded me for my unruly boyish behavior. Indeed, the Northwest has a special meaning to me. I feel quite secure with those NW ladies. At that time, the airline was called the Northwest-Orient Airlines, and was the dominant trans-Pacific carrier.

  1. NorthWest Business Class. I was in the NW World Business Class cabin on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit in July of 2008. The cabin was hosted by a first-class purser, consistent with my age and position.

  2. From Detroit to Shanghai (July 2011). I was fortunate enough to be in the business-class cabin of another Northwest flight, and I met this senior purser who spent most of her professional years with NW. Because the Northwest was absorbed into the Delta Airlines recently, she was wearing a delta uniform.
     • Another delightful lady on the same flight. It appeared that the pilots and aircraft were also from the Northwest. When I told her why I like NW, she appreciated. She gave me two different business cards. One with the present employer (Delta Airlines), and the other which with the NW trade mark. She told me to keep her NW card as a souvenir, not for business.
     • Two Ladies together. I look happier with two ladies, because God pulled out two ribs from me (from both left and right). I seem to have the same number of ribs on both sides according to my chest x-ray photos.
     • During a flight in April of 2013. This lady started working for the Republic Airlines, which became merged to the Northwest in 1986.
     • Two more ladies during the same flight to Shanghai.

  3. From Beijing to Detroit. I was on a business-class seat again during this flight (August 15, 2011). This Northwest lady was also wearing a Delta uniform because the Nw- Delta merger. She started her profession as a NW flight attendant. She told me about the changes that took place in her profession. There used to be many barriers. They got rid of color and gender barriers many years ago. There used to be also age, height, and weight barriers. They are all gone. She still has to send her children to collages. Her job is not easy, but there are challenges. She likes to use her travel experience to open up a more creative business.
     • She has been going to Seoul since 1991, is familiar with the city. She was very happy to meet a Korean man because most of the people on the plane were Americans and Chinese. She knows how to order items in Korean restaurants. She told me Seoul has gone through changes after changes. When I told her I left Seoul in 1954 and has never been back, she said I am a stupid person.
     • NW used to be the Northwest-Orient Airlines. This lady joined the Northwest when it was the Northwest-Orient Airlines many years ago. This made me very happy because I came to Pittsburgh from Seoul on Northwest-Orient flights (Seoul-Tokyo-Anchorage-Seattle-Milwaukee-Pittsburgh) in 1954. She said it became the Northwest (without Orient) when it was merged with the Republic Airlines in 1986.
     • Here is a lady from the Republic Airlines. She was very happy to meet an old timer (during a flight from Beijing to Detroit, 2011).

• Pan Am Reunion. Before 1995, I used to be on Pan Am flights very often. This lady used to work for Pan Am, and I met her on one of the PanAm flights. Since then, PanAm became absorbed to Delta Airlines. She is now working for Delta. It was indeed a pleasure to meet her on a Delta flight from Nice to Atlanta on June 17, 2006.
  1. In 1990, I was on a PanAm flight 30 to Moscow. At that time, going to Moscow was a very privileged and exciting experience. This PanAm flight 30 is now called Delta 30.
  2. The Pan Am terminal at New York's Kennedy Intl Airport used to look like this. This is now one of the Delta terminals.
  3. The PanAm Building, and the Chrysler Building seen from the observation floor of the Empire State Building. The building is still there, and its name is "Met Life Building."

  2. A Warm-hearted Delta Lady on the same Athens flight from New York (2010).
     After taking this photo, we became close enough to produce
  3. another photo like this.

  4. Professionalism at Work on a Delta flight from Dusseldorf to Atlanta (November 2010). Since she is going to Germany frequently, she speaks German fluently. She gave me her copy of a German magazine containing interesting articles and photos as a souvenir.
  5. Willing to help. This lady was very helpful when I had difficulties in using a push-screen computer at New York's JFK Airport. Since she was so positive in helping others, I asked her whether she was working for an airline. She said she was working for Delta. I asked her whether she is an Italian. She said she was born in the United States, but her parents came from Italy. A very cheerful lady, and she is an asset to the Delta Airlines.

  6. Paris to Cincinnati (January 2012).
  7. Another Paris-Cincinnati Flight (April 2012).
  8. at the Cincinnati Terminal before flight to Washington (January 2012). This team of three has been working together for sometime. The lady on my right has been with Delta for 34 years. She likes her job.

  10. Another set of Ladies in the same flight.

• Sheraton Rio: An off-duty United Airlines purser in front of the Hotel Sheraton Rio (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2000). I was holding a Rio licence plate carrying Feynman's name. This bogus plate was made by the Brazilian gentleman in the photo. Later, we were on the same flight coming back to the States. I was assigned to a business-class seat even though I had an economy-class ticket, while she was working for the economy-class passengers. I must have appeared to her like a rich Japanese businessman, but she was very smart. She knew I was a professor of Korean origin and spoke some Korean words to me. A very pleasant experience. Be careful. Those airline ladies know about you.
  1. More about Sheraton Rio. I met many interesting people there.
  2. United Business Class. I was assigned to a business-class seat during a trans-Atlantic flight in November 2003. It was a very pleasant flight, and I met some interesting people, including this United lady.
  3. United from Brussels to Washington (September 2008). She looks happier with her colleagues. I look better with this charming gentleman.

  4. From Washington to Brussels (2015). I had a photo with this cheerful lady. She appeared to be very young, but she claimed she worked for more than 25 years for the airlines. She has been all over the world. We were the business-class cabin.

  5. Continental letter sheets and envelopes. This blue-shirted lady gave me these valuable items which will not be seen in the future. She asked me to post them in my website. She also gave me these Continental buttons.
• In February of 2013, at the George H. Bush Airport in Houston, these Continental ladies were still wearing their traditional uniforms. They became very happy because I was able to recognize their uniform.

  Her father was a distinguished physicist. His name was Wesley Britain.

  5. AAL Ladies at Rome's Fiumicino Airport (2012). The plain-clothed lady on my left used to work for the American Airlines. She is now retired and is very happy to be in this photo with younger colleagues.

• Lady Pilot. I met this senior citizen at the Westinghouse fountain in Pittsburgh (U.S.A., 2003). She was a pilot when she was very young, and spent her later years as a professor of aviation at Ohio University. Women pilots are still rare. Indeed, she was one of the pioneers in her profession. She has an excellent understanding of three-dimensional geometry. In this photo, I am thinking about my past. The Westinghouse fountain is very meaningful to me because I used to go there for rest and relaxation when I was an undergraduate student at Carnegie-Mellon University (1954-58).
