I have been working on Bill's memorial webpage. I have his autobiography written for Ace Avakian's Frontier newsletter which ran in two installments but ceased when Ace passd away in 2011. So I only have the years up to 1952. Do you have the rest of Bill's autobiography? I would love to have all of it for his webpage. Thanks -Jake Lamkins (4/25/14) Photo of Bill from 1964 reprinted with permission from the book FROM THE COCKPIT TO THE GALLEY by Bonnie C. Dahl and Patty A.

His autobiography is incredible! He told us about 10 yrs ago at the reunion in PHX he was inviting us to his funeral and was going to buy us all a martini! -Bonnie Dahl (4/27/14) I always enjoyed flying with him, nice guy. -Ruth Pitts (4/27/14) FLacebook - FL Club DEN pilot Bill Wayland's memorial webpage has been updated. http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Bill_Wayland.html His widow Adeline sent the complete text of his memoir and gave me permission to share his story with the FLamily. It is now posted at his webpage. I think you will enjoy it as much as I did. -Jake Lamkins (5/8/14) I just sent a few photos from Bill Wayland's memorial, May 3, 2014. It was hard to get everyone gathered up to take a photo. There were 4 Frontier folks there, Ellen Quinn, Joane Griffiin, Bill Watkins and I. It seems a lot of people did not know when the memorial was even though you and I had sent it via e-mails. It was also in the Denver Post. But lots of family were there, his wife Adeline, his 3 children, nephew, several grandchildren and friends. Photo is his daughter and grandson singing and they were very good! I can't remember some of the names. It was a nice service and good stories from the kids. Great family who loved him.
