MARTY MARTIN 1959 - 1972 STATION AGENT, RELIEF AGENT, STATION MANAGER FMN DEN GTF LAS Meant to send this on to you as soon as it came out but didn't remember it when I was on the computer until now. Hope you can get to the obit from this page. -Dee Martenson (6/18/07) Posted at the FL Club: Marty Martin has died His obituary is at http://www.legacy.com/BillingsGazette/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=88785792 Be sure to sign his guestbook. Does anyone recall more info about Marty? -Jake Lamkins (6/18/07) Marty Martin was the manager in Las Vegas for Frontier Airlines. He resigned, moved to Red Lodge, Mt. and got married. I believe he married a widow (station agent wife that got killed in DC3 crash in Miles City). He operated a hardware store for several years in Red Lodge. He was a very happy go luck kinda guy. -Marv Pester (6/20/07) Gayle Bussinger was the MLS station agent killed in the 3/12/64 DC3 crash at MLS. He was coming back from taking a rent-a-car to BIL. He was 27 and his wife was waiting for him at the terminal. Her name was Linda per the obit. Marty's widow was Sherrie. L.M. Martin has a seniority date of 2/7/59 on the 2/1/65 FL/ALEA seniority list. The 1963-64 DEN station rosters list LaVerne Martin The 1/1/70 FL telephone directory shows LaVerne Martin as LAS manager. -Jake Lamkins (6/20/07) Thanks so very much for keeping us all informed of the FL Family. Real shock to hear about both Gene Martin and Marty Martin. -Red Barringer (7/26/07) I sadly learned of the passing of a truly grand member of our wonderful Frontier family....La Verne "Marty" Martin" . La Verne.....What a handle, no wonder he loved to be known and identified & introduced as "Marty". I first met "Marty Martin" when I transferred from DENRM to DENOO in August of 1964. Marty at that time was a Station Agent who would frequently work "Ticket Counter" shifts. All of us at that time were "Station Agents". The specialization of Station Personnel into " Customer Service " and "Ramp Service" became a classification utilized in our major terminal operations possibly in the early Nineteen Seventies. Marty thoroughly enjoyed, and was ideally suited for any and all "Public Contact" endeavors of the company. In the late "Sixties" a Airline Strike affecting the major "Trunk Line" carriers ( UA, AA, TW, DL, BN, NW etc. ) occurred. This gave our "FAL" the wonderful opportunity to begin temporary service from DEN to LAS. Apparently we were much appreciated in LAS and not too long after the strike was settled the CAB awarded us the right to permanently serve LAS. I don't believe Marty became our first "FL" Station Manager in LAS, however he was one of our early Managers in LAS and as such was a rousing success for both our company and our image in LAS. He enjoyed immense popularity and rapport with the personnel in our LAS station. I was very surprised and totally bewildered to learn of Marty's apparent abrupt decision to resign from the company and to enter private business in the small community of "Red Lodge, Montana" which I believe occurred in the mid Seventies ? In my book "Marty Martin" will always remain as one of the best "City Managers" our company had anywhere on our entire system. Why in heavens name the executive management of our company let him get away, is beyond my comprehension ! I fervently pay homage and salute you "Marty Martin" for being a major reason why "Frontier Airlines" flew as beautifully as it did. I recognize and appreciate your genuine and sincere personal friendship and your always contagious ebullient personality and continually upbeat & optimistic outlook on Life. Godspeed "Marty Martin" !! -Bob Pearson (9/5/07) Posted at FLacebook and the FL Club: LAS station manager Marty Martin's memorial webpage has been updated. http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Marty_Martin.html Added two items but still need a photo of Marty.
