Welcome to Clipper Pioneers!

We're getting ready for our next reunion cruise April 8-18, 2011!
Jewel Of The Seas - Royal Caribbean International Some have asked about the ship we will be on for our next Pan An Reunion Cruise, RCL's, Jewel of the Seas April 8-18, 2011.
You can take a tour of the ship and get a good idea what it is like. We have had great reports on both Royal Caribbean and this ship.
I have never been on the ship, but Carmen has a lot of knowledge on both the ship, the itinerary and Royal Caribbean. Give her a call at Interline Travels Inc. 1-888-592-7245 or 305-598-0363.
One thing that really helps make a great reunion is by passing all the information to all your contacts. We only have a limited number of e-mail addresses, so please pass the info to all the Pan Am folks. Enjoy the tour of our ship.

Dear Ladies and gentleman.
I am working on a Public Television Documentary that has a section which covers the era of the famous 314 Boeing Clippers.
I could use some help. Would anyone be interested in sharing stories, letters, photos and memories about their 314 experiences. (Also words out of a pilots log books)
I have been supporting In-Kind work for The Museum Of Flight in Seattle WA.
Your support and interest would be respected.
Sincerely,
Gary J McMillen
Museum Of Flight Liaison

5/26/2010 - A QUESTION:
My father, Finley Goslin, was a pilot with Pan Am from 1940 – 1960, based in Miami, Rio, Houston, London and New York, and was an active member of the Clipper Pioneers until he passed away on February 06, 2007.
The reason I am contacting you is regarding the attached photo that has been circling around the Internet. The box that is being loaded on the flight is the first IBM 'SUPER' computer released in September 1956. The pilot on the right with his arms crossed looks VERY much like my father.
I was wondering if perhaps the photo could be posted on the Clipper Pioneer website asking if anyone knows who the crew was on that flight or at least what route it was on. I have scoured the Internet but as yet haven’t come up with further information.
Thanks so much Jerry. Keep up the good work as we all enjoy and greatly appreciate the PAA connection!
Best regards,
Priscilla Goslin
4/1/2010 - Those who read the story of the Doolittle Raid that you recently posted might be interested in the attached PowerPoint file of pictures that was just sent me by a friend. Keep up the good work, the Clipper has become a great read for we 93 year olds who no longer get to reunions.
Best Luck... Lee Nelson

This is an incredible collection of photos on Pan Am's history. It was forwarded by an ex employee, Arthur Rindner who now lives in Israel. I think these are some of the best Pan Am photos I have ever seen.
Enjoy..............................Tony
Definitely, this is the best collection. Hope you all enjoy. Thanks Tony and Trudy for sending these. And also to Arthur who has definitely shown how deep his heart is still with Pan Am. Vickie
