I talked to Bev Olson, she and her husband JL Olson transferred from PHX to BOI when it opened in 1979.  
She thinks they used to receive the FL news on the web but don't anymore.  Can you hook them back up?

The FL NEWS newsletter has always been sent via USPS.
My records show I sent Bev a complimentary copy 2/4/2003 but she never subscribed.
Maybe Bev and JL were getting news from the online FL Club.
I'll send them an invite to the Club so they can get plugged back in to things FL.
The newsletter is still being sent out and is up to 28 pages.
It's still $10 per year.

I got a call yesterday advising me of the passing of J.L. Olsen in BOI. 
J.L. was a long time employee of Frontier.
I know he worked in PHX, WYS and was one of the opening Agents 
when we opened BOI in June of 1979, and worked there until the end.
I feel blessed to have known him both as an Employee and a good friend. 
J.L. was always one you could depend upon to get the job done.
I have many happy memories of doing things with him, both at work and away from work.
I’ve talked to his wife Bev, (also a long time Frontier employee) 
and I know she will be getting in touch with more information.
The original BOI gang that opened the station is getting smaller, 
having already lost Duane Sharp, Ron Slater, Dave Weston, Bob Smith and Moe Osborne.  
Time has not been kind to us.
I can only say that now J.L. has gone to a better place.
