O’Malley distilled over one hundred interviews into vibrantly-colored text-based works. The inspirational words of these sixteen prints vary in content from the sincere to the silly and allude to the idea that the wisdom of our 80-year-old selves might already exist within us.
“Advice from My 80-Year-Old-Self” by Susan O’Malley is on display in Harvey Milk Terminal 1 and online at: https://bit.ly/4tKRS8x

Maxine Crookston (1915–2016) was known as “The Voice of San Francisco Airport” from the late 1940s through the 1950s. Born in Salt Lake City, Crookston dreamed of flying as a child and recalled jumping as far as possible from her parents’ porch while flapping her arms as wings. Her life's ambition was to fly as a commercial pilot.

The short sleeve blouse has a banded waist and an attached jabot neckpiece for the insignia pin. Smart looking and allowing greater ease of mobility for the demands of jet service, it was issued from 1965 to 1968 and became known as “the cheerleader” because of its flared skirt.
Well known for dressing Marilyn Monroe, Hollywood costume designer and Academy Award winner, William Travilla (1920–1990) created this synthetic blend, summer seasonal ensemble for United in a new color named Blue Frost. The lightly fitted jacket has a distinct chelsea collar and a three-quarter-length sleeve with a detachable dropped cuff.
