Former TWA employees participate in a recorded roundtable discussion July 18 at the North Platte Historical Museum. A new public-address system, funded through a Missouri Humanities Council grant, allowed attendees to hear the speakers.
The fourth “Remembering TWA” gathering featured displays of airline photographs, artifacts and memorabilia. Former employees participated in recorded roundtable discussions about their experiences and TWA’s importance to its workers, their families and surrounding communities.
An informal, drop-in format gave members of the extended TWA “family” time to visit with former co-workers and contribute their own stories throughout the day.
