WES DAVIS 1955 - 1984 PILOT GSW DAL DFW DEN I didn't know about the FL NEWS. I enjoyed reading the last issue and will look forward for each quarter. I was hired by CN in 1955 and retired in October, 1984 from FL. I experienced some interesting action during those 29 years. -Wes Davis, Fort Worth TX (1/16/04 Sorry to tell you that Wes Davis's Wife (Coke) died Saturday afternoon.

The name of the home is: EMEITUS AT OAK LAWN, and is located on L- DON DODSON street in Bedford. If anyone chooses to visit him, you must call the home to let them know that you are coming. -Weldon Finney (3/9/10) I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Wes Davis died yesterday. There will not be a traditional funeral, but only visitation tomorrow, Monday October 17th, 10:00 a.m. at Mount Olivet Funeral Home 28th and Sylvania street in Fort Worth. We will miss a good friend. -Weldon Finney (10/16/11) I'll post it at the online FL Club and our page on Facebook. Wes was the FL/ALPA Master Chairman when I became ALEA Master Chairman in 1980. He was very helpful to me and on the FL Employees Coalition until he retired. -Jake Lamkins (10/16/11) Sure sorry to learn this. Wes was all class. He was my predecessor as MEC chairman and extremely helpful in the transition. Alas, he would have been more helpful had he stayed! -Billy Walker (10/16/110 I remember talking to him about his retirement and he said it was time for him to go. He saw that we were hitting the slippery slope. He was on sick leave beore he actually retired. -Jake Lamkins (10/16/11) I believe you are correct. He medicaled-out... Wes along with several others approached me to see if I would be interested in running as the Capt Rep which, with a single domicile, would be the MEC as well. I should have run FROM instead of for... Wes was a real gentleman to work with in the transition. He was right though. "...all roads led to liquidation," a term often used by Buzz Larkin. -Billy Walker (10/16/11) Harold Maxwell told a Wes Davis story at our monthly FL meeting. He was hitching a ride on a CN DC-3 ferry ICT-HUT on which Wes was the captain. There was just the flight crew and Harold on board since it was a ferry. Harold was HUT manager at the time. Wes asked Harold if he wanted to fly a DC-3 since he knew Harold held a private pilot's license. So Harold did the takeoff and got leveled out for HUT and Wes feathered an engine to see what he would do. Harold recovered okay and they had a good laugh out of it. Harold said Wes was just a great, great guy! -Jake Lamkins (10/25/11)
