The mystery of amethyst

Flight attendants have the wonderful experience to visit places they never would have chosen to visit on their own. As a ‘Senior’ flight attendant for Northwest’s regional

airline, Mesaba, later to become Endeavor for Delta, I had the pleasure of sightseeing in many unfamiliar places, and as a writer, searching for those unknown nuggets of

information that many tourists might miss. One such place was Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Since it’s a very small town, many of the other, usually younger,

flight attendants elected to stay in their room, watch movies, talk on the phone or just sleep. But I saw things differently. For me, it was a chance to explore and luckily find

some illusive fact that I had to include in my Casey Click mystery series. As an example, Thunder Bay is the amethyst capital of the world. Who Knew?
