Way back in 1972 when I got married, I arrived with my new wife at Kennedy airport in NY. We were going to St Thomas in the Caribbean
on our honeymoon, flying Pan Am (remember them?). Anyway, as we're checking in, our baggage goes on the scale. In those days you
were allowed 44 lbs in coach and 66 lbs in first class. At that point, they ask each of us how much we weighed. I must have flown
500,000 miles on United, PanAm, American, National, Eastern, and whatever other airlines and had never before been asked my weight.
So that was a first, and a last. We were never asked again. Strange.
