BILL COOK 1949 - 1982 STATION AGENT, SENIOR STATION AGENT, STATION MANAGER RIW WRL I want to thank you for the FRONTIER NEWS. I sure do enjoy it finding out who has gone west and who is still with us.

I found he had died last year per the SSDI. Websearch turned up nothing. I'll check with ebay seller. FL announced the discontinuation of service to WRL in the Dec 1981 FL News to be effective Mar 1, 1982. I assume that Bill retired when that occurred. -Jake Lamkins (10/18/09) Email to ebay.com seller: Dear wytallwoman1, I knew Bill Cook at Frontier Airlines. I'm wondering if he has passed away since his pix are for sale. Thanks for any info, -Jake Lamkins (10/18/09) Yes, he did pass away last summer. His daughter is a friend of mine and I am selling stuff for her. -Nan, wytallwoman1 (10/18/09) Posted at the FL Club: Death in the FLamily BILL COOK 1951 - 1982 STATION AGENT RIW WRL I just got confirmation Bill died Jul 12, 2008 in WRL. Post your remembrances and any info such as an obituary. -Jake Lamkins (10/19/09) Don't know when he would have started but Bill had also been the station manager in WRL, until 1974 I'm thinking. I think that's when I got there, domiciled as a System Relief Agent for COD, VEL, and WRL. -Geoff Morneau (10/20/09) W H COOK, RIW senior station agent per 1/4/55 FL Personnel Roster.

WRL manager in 1977-82 was Ray Spiars per Nov 1977 - Jan 1982 FL Quick Reference Directories. -Jake Lamkins (10/21/09) W. H. COOK Date of hire 8/16/49 Date of classification 1/1/51 Per 11/1/55 FL Station Personnel System Seniority List. I cannot find what position Bill filled before becoming a station agent but it probably was with Challenger Airlines since they served Wyoming. -Jake Lamkins (10/22/09) Just a note about the article on Bill Cook in your last issue of FL News. I met Bill in early 1950 when I was hired by FL & sent to RIW. Bill was the air mail carrier & picked up mail from Lander & RIW & met the flights. RIW was a 3 employee station & as I recall, had 3 flights, from DEN, SLC & BIL with intermediate stops. Lou Zellia was the station manager & Madge Casinet & myself the agents. Bill helped with the flights & he worked part time at a furniture store. Lou Zelia transferred to PHX & Red Davis became station manager. The merger of the 3 airlines was just taking place. We had 3 different DC-3s fly in & we did the fueling, freight & ticket counter with 1 agent. Good old days. -Glenn Emmons (2/13/10) W H COOK RIW senior agent per the Nov 1955 FL Roster.

I spent much of my time as a Relief Agent in Worland, a small mountain town that got loads of Girl Scouts through there in the summer, often minus their bags due to elevation and weight limitations. Fun times! -Rick Baldwin (3/21/16) Such memories! -Mary Dipper (3/22/16)
