He is not on the 2/1/65 seniority list. -Jake Lamkins (7/17/06) Posted at the FL Club: Station agent Ralph Fisher has died A recent browse of the web found an item that former FL employee Ralph Fisher died 3/9/2000, age 76. The item said, "He worked for Frontier Airlines in Arizona and transferred to the Grant County Airport. He later went to work for Iexas New Mexico Power Co. and retired from there in 1989 after 24 1/2 years of service." Grant County airport is at SVC. He was a station agent and is on the 3/1/62 FL/ALEA seniority list with a seniority date of 12/17/55 Does anyone recall Ralph or have more info? -Jake Lamkins (7/21/06) R. A. FISHER JR SVC station agent DOB 8/12/23 DOH 12/17/55 per the Feb 1960 FL Roster. RALPH FISHER SVC station agent per the FL station rosters from 8/15/63 until 3/15/64. He is not on the 4/15/66 roster. His obituary says he retired in 1989 after 24.5 years at New Mexico Power which means he would have started there in 1964 or so. I'll figure he left Frontier in 1964 until more info is received. -Jake Lamkins (9/10/15) FLacebook - FL Club SVC station agent Ralph Fisher's memorial webpage has been upgraded: http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Ralph_Fisher.html Moved to a non-ad website but still need a photo of Ralph. -Jake Lamkins (9/11/15)
