Season’s greetings are pouring in, and thank you to all who have delighted me with food and fruit. Jim and Trude Hart are busy in Royal Palm, Fla., with the usual round of holiday parties. But Jim, ever devoted retiree of Eastern Airlines, sent me some special news. Eastern Airlines will be starting up again in 2011. The new president has asked Jim to write up his work experience there. As you know, Jim started on the counter in 1957 and went on to an illustrious career. The new prez is also looking for marketing recommendations from Jim. I guess no one ever really retires.
