ELAINE FOOS LEWIS
1953? - 1955?
FLIGHT ATTENDANT
DEN


My mom (Joyce Elaine Foos at the time) flew as a “stewardess” for Frontier Airlines in the early 1950s.  
Mom passed away four years ago and going through her things have found a vast collection of Frontier Airlines paraphernalia.  
I have flight schedules from 1952, 1953 and the Winter Schedule 1954-1955.  
I have her original wings, advertisements and in-house training papers, love letters from pilots (ha), etc.  
I’ve attached a couple pictures.  
My mom was a beautiful woman and did many of the ads for Frontier.   
PS – I used to wear her hat as a little girl and probably destroyed it.

How nice to hear from you but I'm sorry about your loss of your mom.
I cannot find her name anywhere in my files so your info fills a gap.
Did she go by Joyce or Elaine or both?
Do you know what years she worked at Frontier?
Was she based in Denver or elsewhere.
It might help in tracking her records.
What was her last name when she died.
Enough questions!
Thanks for the two terrific pix.
She was indeed a lovely woman.
Send anymore you want too.
I'll be putting a memorial notice for her on our website and in the newsletter.

Yahoo, I’m thrilled  you received my email and responded.  
We’re getting ready to leave town for the holiday 
but will peruse through the documents I have and find out exactly which years she worked for them. 
I know it was before she married dad which was in 1955, so I’m guessing 1952-1954 or 1955.  
She went by “Al” which was shortened from Elaine which is what she typically went by.  
She died as a “Lewis” marrying Orville I. Lewis who passed away last year and is how I have gotten all of these documents.  
I’ll get in touch with you again when we get back on Tuesday,
