My name is Richard James, a former Frontier employee from 1968-1986.  
I recently retired from Continental airlines in Florida and have moved back to Greeley, Colorado to live.  
I want to attend this year's reunion party at Quincy Reservoir.  
What time does the party start and end and the date.   
Also Earl Fischer of Aurora was my next door neightbor for years.

Found his obituary while doing a periodic web search for Frontier deaths:
...Richard L. James died quietly in his sleep on January 13, 2022 from complications arising from a leg infection. 
In 1968, they moved to Colorado where he worked for Frontier Airlines and raised his family...

It is with a saddened heart that I learned of Richard's passing. Many condolences to His family. 
While he and I were growing up in Syracuse we had a great number of adventures and experiences together. 
He was my best friend and I will always cherish the memories we made together. 
We graduated from High School in 1959. 
A few of the memories I will fondly recall is the bicycle trip out to Devils Bowl in the sand hills. 
What made it memorable was the number of things we packed into the bicycles' saddle bags "just in case." 
One item quite unexplainable was a golf ball. 
In high school wood shop Richard built a 16 foot sail boat that we manged to take to many of the lakes in Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado. 
We drove to see the World's Fair in Seattle Washington. 
Richard who had recently obtained his private pilot's license flew us from Olympia, Washington then up and down the coast of Washington. 
We landed in a small airport just so he could add a location to his pilot's log. 
He was a good friend whom I will always remember with kindness and pride that I knew him.
