MICKEY MITCHELL 1967 - 1986 STATION AGENT, ASSISTANT STATION MANAGER, STATION MANAGER MKC MCI PUB ATL MARRIED TO MCI ASST. MANAGER NANCY HEDRICK MITCHELL All of you worked MKC/MCI at some time, as I recall. Yesterday I had a call from a friend that Mickey Mitchell's wife, Nancy, had died the day or so before. Mickey worked many years in KC and I believe his wife had been a FL secretary there. Bob Stine thinks it may have been Nancy Hendrix, Hendricks, Headrick or something like that. Do any of you remember Nancy, her last name and what position she held with FL? Thanks for any help. -Jake Lamkins (8/24/00) Sad news - Nancy Hedrick (Hedrick was her maiden name as I recall) was indeed a secretary at MCI in the early 70's. She was a very fine person and loved very much by Mickey. She was promoted to Asst. Mgr MCI Station the same position Mickey held at the time. They had a romance without the knowledge of anyone in the station and one day announced their marriage. I later served as C/M in COS when Mickey was C/M in PUB. We often made sales calls together in the PUB/Canon City area and I knew them both well. In later years (82/83) Mickey and Nancy lived in ATL. I saw Mickey in the station when I visited from the DEN GO. He was the ATL C/M and later an agent and Nancy was a F/A for US AIR. At about 1990 I went to ATL to do the press conference on behalf of AWA's ATL opening and Mickey and I had breakfast together. At the time Mickey was working for Home Depot after having just sold their retail packing store and Nancy was still with US AIR. -Frank Schubert (8/24/00) Thanks for the information, Frank. Rodger Garner, longtime freight forwarder & delivery agent at FYV, married Mickey's sister Carla a few years ago. Rodger called me to say he wouldn't make the FYV FSM FL Reunion this weekend because of Nancy's death. He didn't have any details. They were leaving tomorrow for Hannibal. -Jake Lamkins (8/24/00) Carla is Mickey Mitchell's sister and sent the photo and obituary for Nancy. The photo her & Mickey was taken in 1992 on the 50th wedding anniversary of Mickey & Carla's parents; Mr. & Mrs. Carl Mitchell. I wonder where Carla got her name? -Jake Lamkins (11/8/00) Jake.. Pursant to your request for information regarding Nancy's Frontier Career: 1972 - started in MCI as Secretary for Manager Transportation Services (1st-Ed Dunaway & then Jim Moore) 1972 - Promoted to CSR-MCI. 1974 - Promoted to Assistant Manager Transportation Services-MCI over Customer Service. 1976 - Resigned from FL and married Mickey Mitchell & moved with him to Pueblo, CO.
