Surprised there was not a greater FL turnout. There were only about 12 FL folk there (3 pilots, a stew, et al) He had done so much work keeping the reunion going etc. But it all fairness, it was short notice. All in all, a very small service with full military honors at gravesite. -Bill Monday (4/1/02) A sad day in Denver as we spotted the obits of Glenn Robinette and Tom Hushka in the Post. I'm sure you got them for your records. -Pat & Joe Craze (4/1/02) We really lost a true friend with the passing of Tom Hushka. You will recall that Tom and his wife Marge were the ones that did all the planning, the negotiating, purchasing of food, beer, popcorn and such and the notification of our annual Frontier Reunion/Picnics. There was a lot of legwork involved and they did this for many years. I, for one, remember the many times at the Elitch's Amusement Park here in Denver, then the new Elitch's. From there the Amusement sites on the west side of town. The big tent, the fellowship. Lots of work, lots of planning plus consideration for the enjoyment of our entire Frontier team and our young ones. My wife and I had the extra enjoyment of knowing Tom and Marge on a social basis, planning luncheons as to when we could get together. Unfortunately, not enough get-togethers but what times we did have together we will cherish. So long for now, Tom...till we meet again. -Ace Avakian (FARPA Newsletter, May 2002) PERSONNEL CHANGES Tom Hushka, from buyer to purchasing agent In the May Jun 1970 Arrow-Jet news -Jake Lamkins (5/19/06) Tom is not on the Feb 1960 FL Roster.
