  1. When rotating back to Sewart AFB from Everaux, France [1962] we were diverted to Orley Field, Paris to pick up a 'priority load' for the White House. Upon parking after landing a black limo followed by a AF canvas covered truck pulled up. They loaded several crates [a chandelier, paintings & 2 rolled up carpets]. They pulled away and while starting engines the limo circled back to where I was standing. The back window rolled down and the guy shoved a small box at me and yelled 'this goes too!' The label had the name of a Hat Shop in Paris and was addressed to Jacquelyn Kennedy, White House, USA. I stuck it under my flight deck bunk seat for the ride to Andrews AFB. Have wished many a time that I had taken a pic of that box!! --- Hal James, Crew Chief, C130B 61-0950.
