KEN HOUCHENS 1950 - 1986 STATION AGENT, SENIOR STATION AGENT, STATION MANAGER FMN GUP GRI LNK Ken was ALEA Council 47 Chairman in 1979. -Jake (11/29/04) The last issue had many many names of people that I used to work with. I can't believe the names of former employees that have gone west. The names of many that showed up I had no idea as to where they were. There are a few stories about the old airline in the early fifties. Sometime I wil have to sit down and write some of them. Sometimes, all of us now find things amusing but things like that taking place today would get us killed. Thanks again, -Ken Houchens (5/10/02) Jake, Enclosed is a check for my subscription to the "FAL" newsletter. Guess I didn't pay any attention to the fact it was about up. Yes that was a great tragedy of John Scott. I looked at that picture and said to myself, I have worked these men, Scott, Linkon, Elmer, Koughn. Don't know who is left at the top 10 or 15 on the FAL seniority list. Believe the fit was Walt Albany, then Walt Rea, Robert Pier, then myself, after that I don't know who was in line. Thanks for doing a great job. -Ken Houchens (4/28/05) Ken's ALEA seniority date was 7-6-50 -Jake Lamkins (4/28/05) Ken was GRI station manager in 1970. -Jake Lamkins (10/15/05) Hi Ken, Thank you so much for the generous donation and your strong support all these years.
