VERN STEVER

All on the list are pilots except;  Frank Blair, Curt Dixon,  Joe Doussard, Mike Kaiser,  Bob Klingensmith,  
George Lawrence, Russ Miller,  Scotty Millis,  Ed Mills,  Mitch Mitchel,  Paul Morris,  Jack Newland,  Bob Owen,
Jack Rogers,  Vern Stever,  Charlie Wilkenson and Del Zusman.
All on the roster are from Monarch, Challenger, Frontier and Central.  
I have no record of any personnel from Arizona Airways.

Jake,
   I am sorry I didn't give you enough information with the photos.
M.E. O'Neil is Ed O'Neil, he was chief pilot and VP of operations.
All these people except Ed O'Neil were dispatchers. (Sent pic of Vern Stever).
 
Thanks,

IN MEMORIAM

One of the most considerate and best liked of men, Vernon R. Stever, 44, 
Chief Dispatcher for Frontier Airlines died November 7.

For several years Vern knew he would someday need surgery on his heart
to replace a defective aortic valve.  Within the past few months his
heart became greatly enlarged necessitating immediate surgery.
He died in the recovery room.

Vern was in on the beginning of Frontier Airlines, having joined Monarch
Air Lines as a dispatcher in October, 1946.  He became chief dispatcher in 1957.
Beginning his aviation career with Inland Airways in 1938, Vern later was an
assistant dispatcher for Continental Airlines before coming to Monarch.

All of us with Frontier Airlines extend our deepest personal sympathies to
Vern's wife, Mary Ann, and his daughters, Sharon and Mrs. Judy Brown.
He will be missed by all who knew him.
