This was 1978, when flying was still an occasion, a special grand event that took planning and care. I worked as a TWA flight attendant then.

Mostly, the passengers smiled back. Ann Hood attendantbackboard share on social

After 9/11, new security measures not only added longer lines and earlier check-ins, but took away our privilege of carrying knitting needles or our favorite moisturizer on board with us. Although we want to be safe when we fly, in some ways it all just adds to the misery of our experience. Ann Hood addboardcarry share on social
I was kind of an outsider growing up, and I preferred reading to being with other kids. When I was about seven, I started to write my own books. I never thought of myself as wanting to be a writer - I just was one. Ann Hood bookgrowkid share on social
