EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1939, we witness a historic moment as the wife of Arkansas congressman Ezekiel C. Gathings, accompanied by stewardess Doris Fontaine, receives a basket of luscious peaches via American Airlines. The purpose behind this special delivery is to present these succulent fruits to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in honor of the annual Peach Festival held in Forest City, Arkansas. The image transports us back to Washington, D. C. , where Mrs. Gathings stands elegantly on the airplane's exterior with an air of anticipation and pride. A crate filled with ripe peaches rests at her feet while she exchanges words with Doris Fontaine, who wears her stewardess uniform proudly. This snapshot captures not only a significant event but also reflects the early days of air travel when it was still considered a luxury reserved for those who could afford it. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times like 1939, connections were made across states through innovative means such as aviation. As we delve into this piece of history frozen in time, we can't help but imagine the excitement felt by both Mrs. Gathings and President Roosevelt upon receiving this thoughtful gift symbolizing unity between regions and celebrating nature's bounty.
