The Paris Route.

Claudia was never going to last in the typing pool.

Barely 60 words a minute and mistakes on every page. The dramatic flourish with which she yanked paper out of a Quiet-Riter showed a flagrant disregard for the delicate constitution of the platen.

Her impeccable fashion sense would take her only so far with the matron.

The world at large, that was where she belonged.

Off she went to Dallas to train as a stewardess. Got herself a passport. Worked her way up to the Paris-Tulum route.

Was featured in three international ad campaigns.

“Less typing, more living, Peterman,” she wrote on a postcard from Morocco in her distinctive cursive.

Lots of flourishes.
