Can a Man My Age Become a Hotel Executive?

My parents are friendly with Kathy Hiatt, who runs the beautiful Bottger Mansion B&B in Albuquerque. Kathy was going through a crawl space in the historic property when she came across a brittle, yellowing magazine with the ad for the (now defunct) Lewis Hotel Training School of Washington, D.C.

Enlarge, and feel enlarged inside by what you read. Choice bits: "Did you ever notice the importance -- and prestige -- of top hotel executives and wonder, "What would I have to do to enjoy a position like his?" And: "How I stepped into a BIG PAY HOTEL JOB." Capitalization theirs.



Kathy has a very funny write-up at her blog Pondering the World.
