FRED THOMPSON 1957 - 1986 STATION AGENT, SENIOR STATION AGENT, STATION MANAGER RIW RWL MCI CDR TOP HOT TUL I would like to hear from anyone who knew Fred Thompson on the FL system: RIW RWL MCI CDR FOE HOT Mrs. Lavonne Thompson, 12004 E. 89th Pl. N., Owasoo, OK 74055 (3/18/03) FRED THOMPSON Born 18 Jun 1927 Died 19 Dec 1992 Age 65 At 74055 (Owasso, Tulsa, OK) SSN issued in Indiana -SSDI (3/18/03) Hello Lavonne, I will print your note in the Spring issue which will be out next month. I gather from your letter that Fred has passed away. If so, I didn't know about it and want to add him to our obituary list. Any information you care to send such as date of birth, death, positions he held, what he did after the bankruptcy, a photo, etc would be appreciated. If true, I'm really sorry to hear about it. I ran into Fred a few times over the years. Didn't he also work in Tulsa? Was he the manager there? Take care and I hope to hear from you. -Jake Lamkins (3/18/03) E-mail to Ken Stewart & Larry Thomas: I got a note from Fred's wife, Lavonne, which leads me to believe Fred died sometime ago. I checked the Social Secirity Death Index and found FRED THOMPSON Born 18 Jun 1927 Died 19 Dec 1992 Age 65 At 74055 (Owasso, Tulsa, OK) SSN issued in Indiana I think that's him since Lavonne lives at Owasso. Have yall heard anything? Was Fred the manager at TUL? Where else did he work? I remember the name but no details. -Jake Lamkins (3/18/03) Jim Newberry was SSM at time of FL bankruptcy. I am sure that is the same Fred. He went with UA after the demise of FL. I had heard that he had cancer and I believe that it was Gordon Smith that wrote that Fred had died. That was several years ago, although I did not realize that it had been that long ago but time does fly by in advancing age. I presumed that you were aware of his death. -Ken Stewart (3/19/03) FRED WAS A SENIOR AGT HERE IN TUL WHEN FL QUIT US. HE PASSED SOME TIME AGO. I WILL FIND OUT DATES FOR YOU. FRED WENT TO WORK FOR CO HERE IN TUL UNTIL HE HAD A HEART ATTACK ON THE JOB. HE LIVED SOMETIME AFTER THAT BUT CANCER IS WHAT TOOK HIM. HIS WIFE IS STILL LIVING IN OWASSO. -Ron Stone (3/21/03) F.
