Yes! In the list I posted earlier of defunct airlines I had completely forgotten Braniff. Thanks for reminding me.

Well, I was at it by myself. Mom knew she's was having more problems. At times she would say to me, "I don't ever want to be a burden to you." And I would answer back, "Mom, that's not possible. You could never be a burden to me. Besides, you say burden and I'll say love." 
Her sufferings ended on Tuesday, January 15, 2008. She's with my Dad now.
Our Moms and Dads are Priceless Treasures. We only have them for a limited time.

I know the feeling. I lost my dad back in 1995. My mom is 86 but probably healthier than me.

I remember:
Joes Deli on campus
CJ's on Archer Road
Skeeter's on 13th St.
"The Park" hot tubs and nickel beer night.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Remember it all too well. Paying Marty Cohen and his partner a fortune in fees and during the call having to wait some 45 or more seconds during the intro where you got no info at all??
Thank the Lord those days are over.
