DICK CUMMINS
SALE REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT SALES MANAGER, STATION MANAGER
OMA MDW DSM


Richard Dix called me last night to let me know that Leo Maldonado passed away on 1/24/02.  What
a shock.  He was 58, living in Las Vegas.  That was all the info that he had about it.
It also occurred to me that a number of years ago, Richard T. Cummins, who at one time was Sales
Manager in Omaha, died of cancer.  He was living either in Kansas City or St. Louis, don't
remember which, and don't know any more about it that that.
Makes you feel lucky to be alive.
Keep up the good work.

Re: Richard Cummins died a few years ago;
Jake...Dick was manager at DSM when FL went out in Aug. 86...
after FL he had sign business before his death...his senior agent was Larry Stivers..
Larry now works for UAL at DSM...he would have all your info...I think he worked for Dick after FL.

I was glad to see this web site, found out about it from my brother,Tom, who also worked for Frontier. 
I  started on February 7, 1959 and worked until April 22, 1972. 
I was transfered to Kansas City as Regional Sales Manager, January 1965. 
I was involved in setting up Board of Director meeting in KC, our first ticket office in the Muehlebach Hotel, 
first jet service, setting up the sales operation in St. Louis along with a ticket office. 
It was my suggestion for the new B-727s name of Arrow Jet. 
It was great working for Lew Dymond (the best president Frontier ever had), Paul Burke, Larry Sills, Ken Smith and Tom Makurat. 
Some of the sales people I can remember, Dick Cummings (my first sales rep) Paul Glidwell, Jim Pliler, Jerry Bacon.
