...million mile mark. "I think I passed it last year; I wasn't keeping track," he says. "American Airlines wrote me a nice letter. They advised me I crossed. They keep me posted." A letter? He admits he might have even lost the thing during a recent office move. "All I'm doing is throwing away things. I'm sentimental about my grandkids, but that's about it." Still, he's proud of the status it affords him. "I go to O'Hare and LaGuardia and they treat me royally. I know everyone and they are very nice...
