GENE OWEN 1950 - 1975 AIRCRAFT DISPATCHER, FLIGHT SUPERINTENDENT, OPERATIONS MANAGER-FLIGHT CONTROL FTW ACF GSW DEN Gene was also known as Bob to some FLolks. -Jake Lamkins (4/15/02) The Gone West roster that I maintain is of pilots and dispatchers. We (the Denver Frontier Retired Pilot group) have accepted the Dispatchers into our pilot luncheon group. All on the list are pilots except; Frank Blair, Curt Dixon, Joe Doussard, Mike Kaiser, Bob Klingensmith, George Lawrence, Russ Miller, Scotty Millis, Ed Mills, Mitch Mitchel, Paul Morris, Jack Newland, Bob Owen, Jack Rogers, Vern Stever, Charlie Wilkenson and Del Zusman. All on the roster are from Monarch, Challenger, Frontier and Central. I have no record of any personnel from Arizona Airways. -Ace Avakian (6/1/99) Jake - Although I haven't kept a record of dates of passing, I do know these to be correct; Bert Clark 10/28/98 John Harlan 1/28/98 Mark Burke 5/19/97 Tom Sponsler 10/24/98 Andy Hoshock 10/11/96 Bob Arnot 9/1/96 Jack Newland 7/29/98 Jed Mackenroth 11/18/96 Russ Miller 5/18/97 Bill MacCleod 1/29/96 Bob Bollinger 11/12/96 Bob Owen 7/20/75 Del Zusman 4/22/95 Jack Rogers 7/16/95 Jim Walraven 7/97 -Ace Avakian (6/2/99) My husband, Gene, worked in Dispatch at the old Central Airlines in Ft. Worth, and after the merger, in Denver. He died in 1975 and after I moved back to Ft. Worth in 1983 I lost touch with most of our old friends. We lived in Aurora with Jim Wyche, Jim Swartz and that bunch. Moved to Denver with Nelson Embleton and Pete Jones. Obviously I have forgotten a lot of names because there's been no contact for so many years. -Vinita Owen (2/1/02) Was Gene a dispatcher til the end? Did he retire before he died? Ace Avakian has a list of departed pilots & dispatchers. I could find no Gene Owen on it but there was a Bob Owen. Nelson still lives in the Denver area. I started at Central in 1964. When did Gene start? I never met him but I remember seeing his name on flight releases. -Jake Lamkins (2/2/02) ROBERT OWEN Born 08 Jun 1930 Died Jul 1975 Age 44 SSN issued in Texas -SSDI (3/12/02) To Bill Blackmon: Were Gene Owen & Bob Owen the same guy? I have two different obits going with those names. They were dispatchers and they both died in 1975. I suspect they're the same. -Jake Lamkins (3/16/02) I will check on Gene Owen. I knew him well, and will check on Bob. I suspect they are one and the same. -Bill Blackmon (3/16/02) You're right about Gene Owen I checked with Dave Martin and he knew him, and confirmed your thoughts. One and the same -Bill Blackmon (3/21/02) Dec 1965 CN Skywriter article shows Robert G Owen with 15 years. He's not in Ken Schultz' memorial database.

BOB OWEN 1950 - 1975 AIRCRAFT DISPATCHER, FLIGHT SUPERINTENDENT, OPERATIONS MANAGER-FLIGHT CONTROL FTW ACF GSW DEN http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Bob_Owen.html Post your remembrances of Bob. He was also known as Gene to some. -Jake Lamkins (1/2/11) I found you on Google and the obit listing for Frontier Airlines (and Central Airlines). I was employed by Central in 1959 at Mecham Field in reservations then later to ticket counter/gate agemt at Amon Carter and Love Field/DFW. I was also there when the merge with Frontier came. My name is Diane Drerup (Diane Ground or Dee Dee Ground). I was trying to get information on Gene Owen who was a dispatcher at GSW then I believe moved to DEN. I heard he had passed away. I saw in the obit a Bob Owen that died in 1975 at the age of 44. Perhaps Gene’s name was Robert and middle name was Gene but we all knew him as Gene. He worked along side of Pete Jones and Ross (can’t remember if first name or last). Do you have any information on him or if in fact, this Bob is the same person? Thank you for your help. -Diane (dee dee) Ground (1/11/12) Hi Diane, Great hearing from you and I've attached a pic of you from my files. What years did you work at CN/FL? I started in 1964 and saw the crash in 1986. I was based in FYV with CN and probably talked to you on the phone in res at some point. Yes, Bob Owen and Gene Owen are the same person. He died in 1975 and his memorial webpage is at http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Bob_Owen.html Do you have a photo of him? No info on Pete Jones other than the attached item. Ross was Ross Conner who retired in 1978. No info on him since then. Visit our weblink below and we also have a page at Facebook; just put Old Frontier Airlines in the facebook search. Best regards, -Jake Lamkins (1/11/12) Jake, you have just made my day…… now, if only I could find a picture of Gene (Bob)… never knew that was his name. Robert G. Owen. He went by his middle name obviously. Do you think we might find a picture of him somewhere, either in a group, alone, etc…… I started in Res at Mecham (? Spelling) Field then ticket counter/gate agent at Amon Carter, Love Field and DFW. I don’t remember exactly when I left. I know I was there with the merger with Frontier for a few years. I’m on face book as dee dee ground in Fredericksburg , tx…. I’ll go on FB and look up Old Frontier Airlines…. Lets be sure and stay in touch. Maybe between the 2 of us we can get a picture and I’m sure you have more influence than I would have.
