He was 62 years old. -Ben Duggan (12/11/99) Thanks for the info Ben. Do you know where he was living so I can try to find an obituary? I knew Ed for over 20 years. From the time he was TBN manager until a vice presidentr in DEN. When I was ALEA Master Chairman and he was a vice president, we had a big meeting over some problem. I pointed out that management was violating their own manual by their actions. Ed said, "Hell Jake, I can just have the manual re-written!". -Jake Lamkins (12/12/99) 25th Anniversary E.L. Dunaway Vice President, acting general manager, sales and service -Frontier News (October, 1982) Hello! I just wanted to say thanks and let you know that I appreciate seeing the memorial for my father on the Frontier website. He always got a chuckle and enjoyed reading the notes and stories that are shared on the alumni site. I'm glad he took the time to tell me about the website. Even for me, Frontier and the people bring back a lot of memories from my younger years in Kansas City and Denver. Take Care, -Debbie Dunaway, daughter of Ed Dunaway (3/3/01) Thanks, Debbie. I knew your dad from the 1960s with Central Airlines. We always had a laugh about something or the other from those days when we saw each other in Denver. The last time I saw him was about 1985 at a labor/management meeting in his Denver office. I pointed out that the company manual stated something should be done a certain way and they were not doing it. Ed laughed and said, "Hell, Jake, I can change what that manual says!" I had to laugh too. -Jake Lamkins (3/4/01) Happened to look at a Calender today and noticed the date: 07-08-09 - (odd how the numbers fall) and realized that 50 years ago today, I entered the airline industry. Started work for Central Airlines in St. Louis Lambert Field as Passenger Service Agent. A PSA did everything, i.e., Sold tickets, ramp agent including freight/air express/mail pickup, bag pickup, cleaning A/C, dumping "honey bucket", drain fuel sumps, clean windshield, deice in winter, commissary-hot/cold water-gum-cigerettes-matches-instant coffee/hot choclate/lemonade and later sodas. Between flights we handled our own reservations before centralized to GSW. We had 2 DC-3 flights a day, Flt. 71 & 75 - STL-HRO-FYV-FSM-MLC-DAL-GSW. The first week or so, TWA substitued a B-707 on a Super Connie flight from LAX to STL. We had a 93 yr. old connecting passenger going to HRO - She was a very thrilled lady!!!! Ed Ciscowski was Station Mgr. & some of the agents were - Larry Thomas - Paul Stitle - Elton Hart - Joan Boston (her father was on CN board of directors). Can't remember any others. I was hired to replace Ed Dunaway who had transfered to HOT, I believe. I transferred to TBN when CN opened the airport there in '61. Ed Dunaway came to TBN at that time. Ed helped me tremendously while there and taught me a lot about manuals/tariffs/international tariffs etc. I went back to STL in '62, stayed thru merger with Frontier and received my first Station Mgr position in MEM in late 1970. Believe Capt. on first flight I worked was Johnny Wright - great person. He welcomed me to CN, (this lowly new hire PSA !!) I was impressed. I retired after 45 yrs and enjoyed the journey, & met/worked with the greatest people along the way !!!!! Wouldn't take anything for the memories - -Jim Mustain (7/8/09) Edwin L. Dunaway Station agent seniority date of 9/27/57, TBN, on the 1/1/62 CN/ALEA Seniority List. -Jake Lamkins (1/7/11) Just received my Winter copy of the Frontier News and saw the ticket validator stories. The article reminded me of the time at TBN when we all went out to work a flight. When we came back in the validator plate was gone. We were a bunch of scared agents. We kept looking for it and a couple of hours passed when Ed Dunaway came in with a smirk on his face and aske what was wrong. We told him what had happened and he pulled it out of his pocket. He was manager at the time and had returned while the flight was on the ground, saw the plate in the validator, took it and went somewhere else. I don't remember the agent that was signed in on the counter that day, but we were all glad to get the plate back. -Ben Duggan (1/31/11) FLacebook - FL Club FLight West: Ed Dunaway DEN vp-sales&service Ed Dunaway's memorial webpage has been updated: http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Ed_Dunaway.html Eight items added and page updated. -Jake Lamkins (2/5/16) I worked for Ed as a station agent at TBN in 1968 and also MCI in late '70s. -Gary Wise (2/6/16) I knew Ed well.
