Here's a picture of Mrs. Lenahan in the crew room taken Oct 1969.  
It had a tear in it so best I could do at this time.

I read the Spring 2011 issue with mixed emotion.
First, I was humored by Jim Montgomery's epistle on interviewing techniques, 
as Jim was the first person that I interviewed with prior to my hire in the early 70s.  
I am not sure whether or not our interview  followed his format, 
but the end result was good in that, I was able to join the great FAL employee group.
Then, I was saddened by the obits for Chuck Demoney, 
Bill Wayne and, especially Mrs. Lenahan, my boss at DENOY.  
It was a pleasure to work with her, 
the other supervisors and the flight attendants at DEN and MCI.  
I cherish the memories of those days.

Do you recall when Bobbie left FL?

It had to be 75 or 76.  
Our upper flight attendant management was in a dither at the time 
and brought in a guy from AA (Peter Greenfield, I think) who was over Mrs. Lenahan.  
Montgomery was out, Bill Monday was in and Mrs Lenahan left.  
Greenfield left and they brought in Chuck Butler as base manager and who lasted about a year.  
I was promoted to Director-Flight Service in 77, I think.  
I left in 78 to became Director Inflight at National (which Bud Maytag owned).  
National merged with PanAm after Lorenzo tried to takeover NAL.
Those were the times...
