Fort Worth. They've traveled Europe, Mexico and Hawaii, among

Convair FW s Globe Trotters
Ski in From Aspen Vacation
Skiing in the Rockies, travel-
ing Europe on bicycles and ex-
ploring the British Isles in a
sports car have tagged Willie
and Nadine Park as a pair of
Convair Fort Worth “globe trot-
ters.”
Park, a senior nuclear engi-
neer, and his wife just returned
from a ski trip to Aspen, Colo.
And now they’re already plan-
ning another next year in Can-
ada.
Shortly after graduation from
the University of Wichita in
1950, Park and his roommate
pedaled bicycles through most
of England, France, Germany,
Italy and other European coun-
tries.
Mrs. Park recently returned
from a trip abroad with her 75-
year-old mother. They bought
a foreign sports car in South-
hampton and racked over the
British Isles with a fine toothed
comb, taking time out for the
World’s Fair in Brussels.
