Betty and Emil at Wheeler Field dance Must have been an electric evening! Georgi clearly remembers that dress, because it cost $40.00 - a lot of $$ in 1937. |

- November 1937: Emil and his good flying buddy
Roger Reynolds (on the left),
sail to China to become Flight Instructors for the Chinese National Air
Force. Their transportation is aboard the President Line Ship - Coolidge.
The bon voyage party sending Emil off takes place on board the Coolidge. Georgi is in the poka-dot dress (check the matching shoes) and her "Scotty" is standing to her right -- with the curl hanging over his forehead. The only other person I have been able to identify in this photo is Chrystal Schultz -- soon to become Mrs. Robert Angle. Chrystal is in the center wearing a dark dress and hat, and Bob Angle's wings on her bodice.
