HARRY SUMMERTON 1946 - 1958 INSPECTOR, CHIEF INSPECTOR, SUPERINTENDENT OF INSPECTION DEN Harry got his 10 year anniversary pin in the August 11, 1956 photo sent by Ken Schultz. -Jake Lamkins (3/11/08) Just reading the recent FAL News...re: More Gone West.... Re: Elaine Lillo Yarish, worked in the Inspection/Log Dept., but may have also worked in other dept.'s on second floor. And I did not see any listing for Harry Summerton, Mgr. of the Inspection/log records Dept.. Harry knew Ray Wilson for years and was hired by Ray to join MAL, 1946/7 or so. Most of us worked for MAL before they were licensed to fly 'commercially'. And then became FAL later after merging with Challenger and Arizona Airways. I recall being part of "crews" who volunteered to fly as a 'passenger' to train cabin 'stewards' and flight crews. No stewardesses then, due to the need to handle heavy cargo. Those flights were my very first large aircraft rides. Also, Dorothy Meisenbach, (8/4/21-6/26/18) was secretary and one of Harry's first persons to work for him. Dorothy was the wife of Bob Meisenbach, Base Overhaul. We lived in the same South Denver area and they were kind enough to pick me up each day to go to work. -Faye Shields Duff. (7/23/19) H C SUMMERTON Supt Inspection DEN Per the Nov 1955 Frontier Employees Roster. -Jake Lamkins He is not on the Feb 1960 employees roster. He last appears in a 1956 article so I figure he left about 1958. (7/23/19) Hi Faye, I really enjoyed your email. Re Harry Summerton; do you know when he flew west? I have not been able to find much. Do you recall when he left Frontier? -Jake Lamkins (7/25/19) Wish I could remember more of the past... I will check in my 75 yr. old cedar chest, as I think that is where I may have filed 'old stuff'. I will see if I can find any more info on Summerton.... a lot of us nicknamed him ' Summertime". He was a nice guy...small in stature but a 'giant' in his 'work knowledge' - knew every thing on each plane, equipment, etc. -Faye Shields Duff.
