BLAINE LILES 1962 - 1970 MANAGER OF INVENTORY CONTROL, DIRECTOR-BUDGET & COST ANALYSIS DEN Email to Ken Schultz: I got a letter from Darren Weeks who worked in Inventory Control with Blaine. For your info, he said, "I want to comment about one person listed in “We Remember” listing and make some clarifications. I make reference to page 6 and E. Blaine Liles. His job title is shown incorrectly. Blaine was not “Stores Inventory Manager” but was the “Manager of Inventory Control”. Do you have anymore info on Blaine than what's on your list. When did he leave FL? What other positions did he hold? -Jake Lamkins (1/24/06) Item from the We Remember list was: Liles, E. Blaine Date of death Mar 11, 1996 Age 65 Position Stores Inventory Mgr. in DEN Started at FL Jan 24, 1962 Date of birth Apr 7, 1930 -Jake Lamkins (1/24/06) Ref. Blane Liles; Darren Weeks is correct that Blaine Liles was Manager of Inventory Control. I have contacted several ex Fal employees that knew and or worked with Blaine, who also verify that he was Mgr. of Inventory Control. A 1969 Company Phone Directory lists Blaine as Manager of Inventory Control. A July 1970 Company Phone Directory lists Blaine as Director, Budget & Cost Analysis, under Vice President of Operational Services, James Arpey. I contacted FL Treasurer at that time, Bill Groody, who recalls working with Blaine as Director of Budget & Cost Analysis. Bill recalls that Blaine left and went to work for the State of Colorado, probably in late 1970. Perhaps Darren can narrow down the time when he left. With this new information, I will list Blaine on the WE REMEMBER list as Dir. of Budget & Cost Analysis. -Ken Schultz (1/27/06) I have to give you researchers & historians a LOT of credit. Its impressive.... going back some 37 years. Like investing an old crime scene. The 1970 date, showing Blaine as Director of Budget Control & Cost Analysis makes excellent sense to me and the reporting to Jim Arpey would be correct. I understand your email to suggest that Bill Groody is still alive. He must be pretty elderly by now, as I remember his to be an "older guy" way back then. (Bill is 86 and lives in the DEN area-Jake) Blaine going to work for the State of Colorado was a twist that I never knew of .... and it is not what I would expected. But who knows ! I guess that the name William Groody, as Treasurer, makes sense to me although I am confused to my recollection of his age "then" and thus his still being with us. I do remember Bill and Blaine having a favorable relationship as it related to those investments in inventories. Thanks for the feedback. -Darren Weeks (1/27/06) Name: Edward B.
