After almost 35 years with the airline business I was able to retire on
April
30th 1999. I began my airline career with West Coast Airlines in Portland, Oregon on
June 10, 1964. I stayed in Portland for the next 15 years, with the exception of
a summer spent working in Port Angles, Washington where I transferred to in time
to close the station. I transferred to Eugene, Oregon late in November of 1979. I worked there
until I was cut in December of 1980. Bumped to Idaho Falls, Idaho I worked there
until the station was closed Sept of 1982. Given the options of New York, Boston, or Memphis, I chose Memphis. We
arrived there Sept 23, 1982 for just a temporary stay. Waiting for something
better to open up, I ended up staying until retirement. Marilyn and I are currently traveling around the United States and Canada in
a motorhome. We have had this dream for several years. No grass to cut, now
house to paint, just following the sun. We plan to go South for the winter,
North for summer. There are so many different places that we have always said
that "We’ll see that when we have time." Now we are seeing them. Stay in touch.

It
was June 1965 when I joined West Coast Airlines
as a Ramp Agent in PDX to work for the summer while
attending college. In PDX I married my first wife
(Pamela), had my daughter (Kristina), and completed
my undergraduate degree at Portland State. In
1973, I was riffed and transferred to Las Vegas.
Here I divorced my first wife, got my MBA
at UNLV, and married my second wife. I left
Republic in 1984 to go to New York Air at RDU. In
just two years, I was the General Manager of SAV,
ROC, and EWR. During that time Maggie
and I had a son, Brian. In 1986, Continental
brought me to Houston to help on the integration
of Frontier, People Express, and New York Air. Since
then I’ve headed up Crew Scheduling and started
a Project Management department. For the last
eight years, I’ve headed up the Interiors Engineering
team.
About five years ago I had a serious
motorcycle accident which resulted in a half dozen
operations and some accessibility issues. Now,
I’m single again and live with my 18 year old son,
Brian. He graduated in May (2003) and is off
to Texas A & M this Fall. I guess that
now makes me an empty nester. I spend a lot
of time traveling. My trips in the last year
have included Peru, Ecuador, Hungary, Mexico, Germany,
France, England, as well as fishing trips to Alaska
and Florida. When I’m not working or traveling,
I tinker with my collection of Velosolex bikes (8
so far) and my Citroen 2CV.
