Anxious to keep Garrett both thriving and informal, Bellande has led the fight against a takeover by ailing Curtiss-Wright, which has sought to buy 47% of Garrett's stock. A onetime barnstormer, mail pilot and test pilot who was Charles Lindbergh...
...modesty and reserve were banished from the transaction of those pleasures, good manners and politeness were inviolably observed; here was no gross ribaldry, no offensive or rude behavior, or ungenerous reproaches to the girls." After enjoying many another "well breath'd youth, hot-mettled, and flush with genial juices," Fanny finds true love and kisses the oldest profession goodbye...
