Erica Bennett

Dear Kristin, Audrey and family, The attached photo was taken at a BWI Christmas party that we had in January of 2012; I think. We usually ran a little late on those parties so, most years it was Christmas in January!;) Lots of fun parties and get-togethers over the years. Camden Yards closing for one of SWA's system wide Spirit Parties was a standout! We had tons of fun there with great live music, good food and lots of old and new friends. So much fun that we didn't want it to end so when it did, we went on to close down a number of other clubs in Baltimore where the music and dancing was also grrreatt and got back to our hotel rooms just before sunrise. There was barely time to shower and pull ourselves together for our morning meeting with our company's president, some VPs and Flight ops leadership. We were almost on time! Don't remember much about the meeting but I remember a magical, musical night with good friends! Fondest memory is the fall of 2019. I was visiting back east, and Erica was in remission. Arthur and I drove to Virginia to pick up Erica for a celebratory lunch and a drive to see the fall colors on a beautiful Autumn afternoon. Arthur was at the wheel of his BMW convertible, Erica and I were passengers, all of us talking and laughing...the sun shining brightly and wind blowing in our hair (well, Erica's and mine; Arthur keeps his quite short!). It was a beautiful day with beautiful friends...for me, the very best of times! I'm sorry I won't be able to attend Erica's Memorial. She was a good friend, and I will miss her. Nina
