Connie Grazia Kenny, Arlene, Tony, and Barbara have been life long friends and thanks to Pan Am traveled to many destinations together. My favorite memory was when Arlene her daughter Kathy, my mother and I went on a mother-daughter vacation. It was probably 1982 and we arrived at JFK with paper employee tickets that had no destination filled in yet. After looking at the monitors and talking to Dad and the Pan Am ticket counter folks, we determined that our best chance of getting to a warm-climate was to get on the Panama City flight. It was a trip to remember for sure.
Connie Grazia Mom loved to travel. Especially to see our family in Italy.

Always so gracious, a wonder of talent there’s nothing Aunt Barbara couldn’t do. Smart and witty I was always enamored with her ability to cook a meal for a hundred people (even if it was only 20 people) while making it look effortless and staying elegant. She was calmly straightforward. Her home was always stunning but other than superficial, she ...
