BARNEY FOSTER 1948 - 196? SUPERINTENDENT OF PURCHASING & STORES, DIRECTOR OF PROCUREMENT, DIRECTOR OF PURCHASING DEN Marian Wells was secretary to President Maytag in 1959. See article in Feb/Mar Frontiersman newsletter. Previously she was secretary to Barney Foster in the Purchasing Department. -Jake Lamkins (11/11/05) Came up with your name on "Old Frontier" website. I'm cleaning out a lot of scrapbooks and have found some articles on the "Old Frontier" that might be of interest to you and your fellow Frontierites that work on the website, and will be glad to send them to you if you are interested. I went to work for Barney Foster in the Purchasing Dep't of Frontier in December of 1953. When Bud Maytag came on board in 1958 I became his secretary and also served as Assistant Corp. Secretary. As you know, he took all his management group to Miami in 1962 to run National Airlines and we were all there until PanAm came in 1980. I still keep in touch with some of my friends from the Frontier days and everyone enjoys the pictures and info on the website and it brings back a lot of good memories. -Marian (Wells) Badgley (3/28/09) B.

FOSTER DEN Superintendent of Purchasing and Stores Per 7/15/48 Challenger Employees Directory I cannot find when he left FL but must have been the 1960s. -Jake Lamkins (5/19/11) Email to Marian (Wells) Badgley: Hi Marian, I working on a memorial page for your old FL boss, Barney Foster. Did he go to National with you and Bud? Any info about him would be helpful. I've attached a 1959 article about him. I cannot find when he left FL. Regards, -Jake Lamkins (5/19/11) Such a grand thing to honor Barney. He was a great guy and a super boss. I do not remember when he retired. He did not go to National. I called a lady yesterday that worked for him before I left and afterwards. She did not remember either how long he stayed on at Frontier. The lady that took her place is no longer alive so I couldn't contact her! One other person that might know would be Leo Schuster. He was in the radio department adjacent to the Purchasing Office. I've thought and thought since you sent the message and I can't remember anything specific about Barney except he was just a great guy to work for and did a wonderful job in Purchasing and Receiving and loved the airline business; and he certainly gave me my start in the business. I remember that he had four children but don't know whether they are still in the DEN area or not. I kept in touch at Christmas for a long time with Barney but cannot remember the last time I heard from him. Hope Leo will be able to help you. Best regards, -Marian (Wells) Badgley (5/23/11) B. E.
