I met Bill in early 1950 when I was hired by FL & sent to RIW. Bill was the air mail carrier & picked up mail from Lander & RIW & met the flights. RIW was a 3 employee station & as I recall, had 3 flights, from DEN, SLC & BIL with intermediate stops. Lou Zellia was the station manager & Madge Casinet & myself the agents. Bill helped with the flights & he worked part time at a furniture store. Lou Zelia transferred to PHX & Red Davis became station manager. -Glenn Emmons (2/13/10) Nothing at SSDI but found something at FindAGrave.com -Jake Lamkins (2/24/13) HAROLD E.
