The reunion went great !!! There were 5 or 6 people there because they had seen the notice in either the Frontier News or the FAL web site. Thanks to you. I'll give you the details, and of course, you can pick and choose what you want to include. The weather cooperated, and there was lots of shade, drinks and food. We had BBQ chicken and pork, potato salad, baked beans, spicy pinto beans, cole slaw, rolls and butter, and two special sheet cakes. The first one had a picture of a FAL DC-3 and the date 6-01-1950, the second one had a picture of a FAL B737 and the date 8-24-1986.

On Monday, March 19, 2018, Arnold "Arnie" Bruns flew west. Arnie was born March 11, 1931, in Hardy NE. He started his career with Frontier Airlines in 1957 in GJT where he remained until his passing. He is survived by his wife Donna, and children Debbie, Jan and Brian, 6 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. Arnie was a no-nonsense kind of guy and was not impressed by those who were "self-impressed". When a customer was told something by Arnie that he did not want to hear, he demanded, "Do you know who I am?" Arnie innocently answered, "No I don't, but if you have a driver's license, we can figure it out." Another time Arnie informed a passenger checking in that his flight was 20 minutes late. The passenger exploded, and said, "Why is it, we can send a rocket into space right on time, but you can't fly to Denver on time?" Arnie replied, "Perhaps it's because the rocket only has one passenger and he has to check in 24 hours ahead of departure." -Jim Wilds (3/24/18) Thanks for letting me know about Arnie and for the funny anecdotes about him. Send his obituary and/or photo if you can. -Jake Lamkins (3/25/18) A L BRUNS DOB 3/11/31 DOH and station agent seniority date of 10/24/57 per the Oct 1986 FL/ALEA Seniority List. -Jake Lamkins (3/30/18) FLacebook - FL Club FLght West: Arnie Bruns GJT station agent Arnie Bruns' memorial webpage is posted at http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Arnie_Bruns.html Post your remembrances of him. -Jake Lamkins (4/1/18) Worked in GJT w/ Arnie.
