JIM JOHNSON
1969 - 1986
STATION AGENT
FLG JAC TUS RNO


Jim went to work at the Reno Post Office, sorting mail at night last
I heard. I haven't heard from him in years, though. He may still be working
at the Post Office. I kind of lost track of everyone else. I saw Jim
Trabert's ex-wife a couple of times (she worked at Macy's), but not in years.
Bill Goodyear just flat out retired, I think. Vince Davis went to work for
the City of Reno as a business license inspector. Larry Zentz moved to Las
Vegas, and (I think) went to work for some airline. John Pappas (the manager)
went to work for America West, in the tour department and moved to Phoenix (I
think). John Keith moved out to Fernley (30 miles) and had triple bypass
heart surgery. Last I saw him was 5 or 6 years ago. He was doing part-time
handyman at a truck stop/cafe. Pete Randall went to work as a city fireman in
Sparks (next to Reno). Jim Booth had already died (of cancer) before the
bankruptcy. Alan Smith (fairly new employee) went to work for AA. Last I
heard from him he was back in Reno again, still working ticket counter for
AA. That was about a year ago.
I think that's about it. Sam Cales tells me he may go to work part-time at
the Reno airport as "Ambassador", which is kind of an information
booth/travelers aid service.

I worked with Jim in JAC in 1972.
He was about 6 ft tall and looked like a surfer.
Nice guy and a hard worker.
He had a real slow way of talking.
He was in RNO when FL closed.

Still need a good photo of Jim.
There was another Jim Johnson with the company: James G. Johnson.
He was a LAW OKC station agent with CN who possibly worked for FL after the 1967 merger.
