BILL SANDERS 1956 - 1986 STATION AGENT HOT LIT Some of the folks might want to know about Bill Sanders, agent at Hot Springs and Little Rock. He had heart valve surgery March 1st, is on his way to recovery, may come home from St. Joseph's Hospital today. Bill really loves the newsletter. -Kathryn Sanders (3/8/0) Subject: Re: Bill Medcalf obituary My wife just put the copy from the newspaper in an envelope to send you. Missed the postman today, though. The obit said he was pilot for Central, then CONTINENTAL, didn't mention Frontier!! This was really sad news. I last saw Bill when he and I were both in the hospital at the same time. That was in 2001, I believe. -Bill Sanders (4/20/06) I wrote Lewis Johnston at the Mustang , Ok address as soon as I received your email, but never heard a word from him. He came to LIT when HOT closed and made the drive up every day - he never moved from HOT. He rode with Bill Sanders and James Greer - they traded off on driving a lot. James is deceased and I guess Bill is still in Hot. When LIT closed Bill Sanders retired, James Greer went to HOU and Lewis and I went to OKC. -Jack Chambers (2/4/08) B R SANDERS Station agent seniority date of 3/14/56, emp# 07705, on the 1/1/86 FL/ALEA seniority list. -Jake Lamkins (2/4/08) Employee Death Bill Sanders died June 3, 2015.
