A moment in time...captured

In today's age, we receive airplane tickets on-line and board our flights with our smart phones.
Has something been lost? A small paper memento to mark our travels? A simple souvenir of places we've been?
In March of 1946, Mr Alfredo Guillen flew Pan Am from San Jose, Costa Rica to San Salvador, on a DC-3. At 95 years old, Mr Guillen remembers, and his sons, Jorge & Fredy share his boarding pass with us. A moment in time, captured.

Looking through folders and manila envelopes with old papers my brother found this Pan Am ticket! That was my fathers flight back from San Jose, Costa Rica returning to San Salvador. El Salvador in 1946. My grandmother Elena Chamberlain was from Costa Rica and he had spent a few years living there. Its nice to see this little souvenir shared by Pan Am Museum. I have great memories of flying Pan Am's 707, 727, 747.
