Artifact Overview
Diane Beers joined TWA as a flight attendant in 1965 but left to marry Richard Hill a year later -- a time when many airlines employed only single women in that job. Beers Hill continued her interest in the airline industry and assembled an impressive collection of memorabilia, including several souvenir pins, like this one, given to young passengers.
