Raised in Virginia by a Southern lady and a WWII pilot, Tina has a very busy life. She is Veteran Services Charmian of her DAR chapter (Daughters of the American Revolution). She meets once a month with her Kiwi chapter (retired American Airlines flight attendants are Kiwis, birds that don’t fly). Her EAA chapter (Experimental Aircraft Association) at the Naples airport is mentoring Young Eagles to build an airplane. Young Eagles are ages 8 to 17 years old and get to experience flying in a single-engine prop airplane for free. Tina volunteers in the background.

She is a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Bonita Springs and enjoys tennis, dancing, and traveling to Cape Cod.
