Under senior designer Eva Rosencrans (1901–1994), the internationally known New York-based label founded in 1929 by Ben Reig took United’s uniform in a new direction as the jet age progressed. This winter suit, worn from 1963 to 1968, is made in soft bouclé worsted wool created in a new color named Blue Vision. Distinctly more feminine than previous fitted-suit uniforms, the modified box-shape jacket with a bracelet length sleeve and a soft rolled collar is matched with an A-line skirt.

Nance O’Banion was trained as a weaver, but began working with handmade paper as a sculptural medium in 1970. Since then she has become one of the best-known artists working in that medium. Change and transformation are important themes for O’Banion, and "Billboard Series" seems to respond to the transitory nature of the Airport itself as the piece appears to change as the viewer moves around it.

Critical funding, research, education, and unlimited access to treatment all lie ahead of the Quilt’s ultimate goal. Unfortunately, HIV/AIDS continues to devastate at-risk populations living in low-income areas and underdeveloped countries. While an estimated 39.9 million people were living with HIV worldwide in 2023, only 30.7 million people were accessing antiretroviral therapy. That year, approximately 630,000 people died of AIDS-related illnesses.

In late 1987, NAMES Project volunteers Gert McMullin (b. 1955) and Jack Caster (1943–89) received a special panel from a man who stopped by the Market Street workshop. Opening the panel revealed a powerful message: “THE LAST ONE.” The group agreed to retain the panel until the epidemic ended. McMullin hoped, “it would be a day we would all share.” Years later, she recalled, “since that day everyone who knew of THE LAST ONE panel has died. They will not know the joy of sewing this last one.”
