Robin Akens I worked with Darlene at the Billings Ticket Counter. She was a no nonsense Girl!! I remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger came to our counter. I could not locate his PTA and he was getting angry. I had watched the Mr. UNIVERSE competitions as a child growing up and was so excited to meet him. His arms were so big!! I wanted his autograph, but he was so angry that I could not ask him. I went in the back room to fret. She thought I was ridiculous and said so. But after the flight left, she flicked a yellow reboarding pass at me with his autograph on it!! RIP Darlene. (7/13/21)
