    Is the Clipper Gram named for the Pan American Clipper seaplane that was in service from The West Coast to Hawaii?

      yes, but they probably called any other airmail that the other Pan Am clippers carried the same thing.
      By the way, have I ever mentioned that I appreciate your frequent comments? It's great to read the correspondence so often
