GERRY BACON
1952 - 1972
STATION AGENT, SALES REPRESENTATIVE, CITY SALES MANAGER, 
DISTRICT SALES MANAGER, DIRECTOR OF FIELD SALES, REGIONAL SALES MANAGER
FMN TUS LAX DEN PHX


I  started on February 7, 1959 and worked until April 22, 1972. 
I got caught in the Al Feldman purge like so many, Jerry Bacon comes to mind. 
Some of the sales people I can remember:
Dick Cummings (my first sales rep) Paul Glidwell, Jim Pliler and Jerry Bacon. 
I have every issue from January 1959 through April 1972 
of the Sunliner News, Arrow Jet News and Frontier News and countless photos.

After completing my agent training in DEN in early
1953 I was assigned to FMN.  Looking for a place to live it was recommended that
I talk to Bob Pier who as well as being an agent managed an old home that had rooms
to rent.  It was a sad looking place but one couldn't be very picky in 1953
FMN.  I believe nine of us lived in the house and while people came and went
almost all worked for Frontier.  Frankly, the place was a three ring circus and
Bob was the ringmaster who tried to maintain order in the midst of chaos.
Among those who lived there were Charlie Southerland, Gerry Bacon and my friend
and roommate Fletcher Huskey [when he was a humble agent]. In his soft spoken
way Bob made sure we kept the place reasonably clean, oversaw our group dinner,
made sure we worked in our very sad vegetable garden out back and generally
refereed when we were close to killing each other.  Bob became a good friend,
and to my recollection without exception everyone truly respected him.
