MONETT TIMES of 9/15 -Jake (9/20/03) Is that the same Jack Groom that worked DENTT in the early 70's? If so he worked with Bob Elliot, Lois David, John H..something was the AM senior agent. I think Jack Casey was a senior about that same time as was Nile Keesey. -Jim Lane (9/20/03) Jack worked in Billings for awhile. Can't remember the dates, or exactly where he went to when he left Billings. -Darrell Robson (9/20/03) Jack also worked with Les...met his wife and little daughter many years ago. Les remembered that he had left Frontier long before it was shut down. -Mary Pat Simpson (9/21/03) Shortly after I transferred from HSI to Denver in April, 1960 I worked the swing shift with Jack Groom and Gene Porter. We were all young guys at the time and as Jack was Mr. Dependable, always setting up the ramp for departing flights as well as the inbounds, I sort of looked to him for leadership. I seem to remember him leaving Denver and heading up to Billings as a few folks have mentioned here. Another good guy heads west! Sorry to hear of his passing. -Bill Thiets (9/21/03) Jack was agent in ALS with me way back and was agent in PHX with me when we went down. A nice guy and good friend. -Tom Clarke (9/22/03) Lyle Anderson's wife Jan sent a packet of FL manuals and other stuff. Lodged in a notebook was J T Groom's FL nameplate. -Jake Lamkins (6/15/10) J.
