Cowboy, you will be greatly missed! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me and all your patience along the way. I sure enjoyed the time we worked together and the fun times that the "crew at Frontier" had together. Honored to have known you. -Wendy Fiegel (Grand Junction, CO) (3/16/08) Don't have much info on Richard. He was one of the BIL based mechanics, and also worked at DEN. Not sure where else he may have worked, or where he went after the crash. His family did have a ranch in the Garryowen area--south and east of Billings an hour or so. That's where he was living at the time of his death as far as I know. I havent' seen him for many years. He was a real nice guy. -Darrell Robson (3/22/08) Richard "Dick' Denny started to work in Denver as a mechanic December 28,1978, and worked in Heavy Maintenance and on the Line. He transfered to BILMM and was a mechanic and Lead Mechanic. After the Billings Maint Station closed he returned to Denver. He transfered to the SNA Maint Station then returned to Denver and worked in Heavy Maint in the Paint and Fiberglass, and Sheet Metal shops until the bankruptcy shutdown in August 1986. -Ken Schultz (3/22/08)
