IN A LETTER, he said 90 airmen at the Italian station had chartered a French jet liner but that he gavo up his seat to a buddy's wife whose mother was critically ill in Rhode Island. Because his family is closely knit and puts great store in Christmas gatherings, Peck's generous act attracted much attention.
