I didn't want my kids having to pass through an airport named after their father.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't want to use my father's name. I don't think I will ever want to use his influence... Never have I gone around asking people, 'Do you know who I am...' Even if it's to cut a line at the airport.
I don't want my grandchildren to go through what I went through.
I took my son's name. I didn't take my husband's name.
My parents would never throw the kids in first class for the flights; they'd be up front, and we'd be economy - we knew we were lucky just to be travelling.
I don't want the kids to go through want I went through.
As the youngest, I wanted to be my father's son and perpetuate the family name.
The one thing I want to leave my children is an honorable name.
I hate everything about airports from getting there to taking off.
Always it gave me a pang that my children had no lawful claim to a name.
I've been to Reagan National Airport. I tell people it was named after me.
