The Safety Pilot's first Jet upgrade

Well, I was rummaging through the ole' treasure trove of Airline Memorabilia again, I guess I must be figuring that I'll come across something really interesting to write about one of these days, but alas this was the only thing I came across in the pile that you hadn't seen before.  Maybe as I dig deeper, some real gems will pop up.

Anyway, this is of me, the EG on DEC 12, 1992, shortly after my upgrade to the B-737.  This upgrade was when I moved my Domicile to SFO before we moved from Chicago to the Bay area.  The NSEG and, his then girlfriend, Nancy kindly put me up for about three months. The Landlord in Chicago wouldn't let us out of our lease and so I commuted to sit reserve during my "On Call" days. Interestingly enough, I seemed to get trips out of OAK, this was pretty convenient at the time as Bob and Nancy were living out in Pleasanton at the time. 

During this time, I also learned to play a very guarded game of "High Ho Cheerio"with Ashley.  If any of you every play with her, watch out - she takes no prisoners.

Anyway, I thought you all might get a chuckle,
