COVER STORY
Just over a year ago, a stunning blonde flight attendant graced our cover, captivating our readers; she then went on to become the December centerfold. Soon Terri Welles will be airborne again—flashing that smile and traveling cross-country as PLAYBOY'S Playmate of the Year. Her cover shot was photographed by Phillip Dixon and produced by West Coast Photography Editor Marilyn Grabowski. For more of Welles, see page 162.
