JACK MCGEE
1959 - 1963?
STATION AGENT
BFF


I worked with Claire Creviston in BFF in 1960-61 and 
he was one of the flinniest, and craziest, characters I ever knew. 
His brother-in-law, Jack McGee, also worked with us. 
BFF was a transfer station and almost everyone worked 'split shifts'. 
Four hours in the early morning, then off for awhile, then four more hours later. 
Because of the crazy hours we worked, most of our socializing 
was done with our fellow workers and their families. 
We got together at night, at someone's house, and played games, or cards,
while the kids ran around like maniacs and would finally fall asleep on a couch or the floor.
One night we were at Jack McGee's and his wife's house. 
They had just gotten a new little flizzy dog, and Jack thought he was just the neatest little thing, EVER! 
Claire, being Claire, had come prepared. 
He had brought along one of those rubber fake little pile of let's say doggie doo-doo. 
He put it in a corner of the kitchen, then said, 'Oh look, Jack, what your new little doggie has done.' 
I don't know if Jack was angry or embarrassed - probably both. 
He grabbed that poor little dog, opened his back door, and threw the dog into the back yard. 
When the shock and laughter died down, 
we all went back to our games, 
but Jack didn't talk to Claire for the rest of the evening.

What info do you have on Jack McGee?
I find him with a seniority date of 3/28/59
in the 1960 FL Roster but can't find him after the 1962 seniority list..
When did he leave FL?
Is he still alive?

Not very much, really, other than he was Claire's brother-in-law.  If my ancient memory cells
are correct,  before he came to Frontier Jack McGee played trumpet in a dance band.  He had
heart trouble and the doctor told him he would have to give up the dance band life, so he went
to work for FAL.  It seems to me that he died, but I can't say for sure and I don't any details.
It is amazing the number of people who worked in BFF in 1960-1961 that have "gone west".
