DICK CHOUINARD 1973 - 1986 CORPORATE SAFETY ENGINEER DEN Dick was the Chairman of the System Safety Board in 1982. -Jake Lamkins (11/26/04) Posted at the FL Club: What was the safety gent's name that used to travel the system and give hearing tests to everyone, along with promoting the use of ear plugs and headsets. He appeared at HP after FL closed up the doors. I always used to tease him, as he would talk to me, and I would always say, HUH? -Dennis Casadoro (7/8/05) I also remember him. Seems like Dick and last name started with a Ch. Something like Chonnard. Am I ringing any bells? -Chuck Tisckos (7/8/05) You're thinking of Dick Chouinard who was a safety engineer and served on the FL/ALEA System Safety Board at one time. DEN station agent Rick Chouinard was his son. -Jake Lamkins (7/8/05) There was a Dick Chinaird (sp) with FL in DENGO but I do not recall his official capacity. I do remember him as a nice guy. His son also worked for FL at one time. I worked with him at FAT, I believe. -Ken Stewart (7/11/05) Subject: Richard Chouinard Rick Chouinard would like to inform you about an online Memorial dedicated to Richard Chouinard Rick Chouinard comments: My father Richard (Dick) Chouinard worked in safety and security at the Denver G.O.
