Email to Billy Walker,

Hi Billy,
I just went through the FL/ALPA Pilot Roster you sent a few months ago
and found these seven pilots deceased that I did not have in my files.
I need any info you have on them and have cc'd my FL Pilots' E-list
in case some of them can help out too.
Once I get some info, I can start working on their memorial webpages
at the FL website.

Hi Jake, I am copying in a few of the FAL pilots who might be able to help with this.   
I flew with Mick Migel some and knew Les Mince and Lee Roser.  
Beyond that I've nothing helpful to offer.  
Hopefully, some of the guys copied herein can do better...

In the early 70's, I flew with a pilot named Walt Jones. 
This was out of Love Field and on the Convair. 
I never knew what happened to him. 
I had heard he was of American Indian descent. 
I don't see him in the obits.

I will check again and see what I can find and let you know.

I have now verified that Walt flew west on Sep 20, 2008 at age 82.
I'm starting work on his memorial webpage.
Thanks for reminding me of him.
Do you have any remembrances of him to add to his page?

I don't Jake.
I was really new at the time.  
I flew with him and Weldon Finney for a month.  
I'm glad you remembered him.
Thank you for checking.

I was finally able to confirm Walt's flight west
when I found the ALPA Roster's year of death was wrong.
Still need an obituary and photo of Walt.
Post your remembrances of him.
