Garland is not on the 11/1/74 FL/IAM seniority list.
His obituary doesn't mention CN/FL but his guestbook has references to DFWAA
so he must have gone to work for AA at some point after the CN/FL merger in Oct 1967.
He's on the 10/1/68 FL/IAM seniority list per Ken's email.

Email to Brady White & Bill Guthrie:
Do you recall a FTW GSW CN mechanic named Garland Miller?
He started in 1961 and is on the 1968 IAM seniority list but not the 1974 list.
He recently died at age 88 and I'm getting background on him.
Any info appreciated.

Took me a while - the name was familiar.
He was a mechanic in the hangar when I was still in the stockroom.
The mechanics affectionately called him "Droopy" after a cartoon dog popular back then.
I dont think he moved to DEN with the rest of us after the merger.
Brady worked with him so he's probably more help than me.

Post your remembrances of Garland.
Does anyone know when he left FL?
-Jake Lamkins

Garland was one of many folks that left FL when they closed the operation at GSW.
I was the last to leave as they kept me there to get all the equipment crated and shipped to DEN.
Foreman Waymon Williams and the mechanics not moving to DEN helped close GSW.
That was in Dec. of 68.
