American Airlines/TAESL

[Ken MacTiernan]

On August 9, 2007 at 9:00 AM the AMTA will unveil another bronze bust of Charles E. Taylor to the American Airlines/TAESL Facility. The event is to take place in front of TAESL. Because this area is in a secure area American Airlines emplyoees from DFW/AFW/TAESL who are not on the clock can attend. they do need their security badges and IDs.
August 9 was chosen to unveil this particular bust because on this date TAESL will have produced their 1500 engine. With Charlie having produced the first aircraft engine this is a nice tie-in. If there are any questions about this event you can e-mail me. This bust was purchased by donations made by the TWU ATD. Sincerely, Kenneth MacTiernan Director AMTA
