BOB STINE 1973 - 1986 STATION AGENT MCI FYV PHX Subject: Sam Cales It was with great sadness that I learned of Sam Cales passing in the FL Newsletter. I worked for Sam in PHX in 1974-75. He was the best Manager that I had the opportunity to work for. When I transferred to PHX, my check didn't show up on time (anyone experience that too!), and Sam offered to front me cash out of his own pocket to get me by until the check arrived. He also offered to help me move from one apartment to another in PHX. When our 1st child was born, I had to take the day off. When I asked Sam how to show it on my timecard, he said, "just put 8 hours down..I can't dock you for taking a day off to be with your wife and new son at the hospital"! I always wanted to tell him how much he meant to me but then I moved back to MCI and we never crossed paths again...until a business trip put me in Reno in April, 2001. I called Sam up and spent a great lunch hour with him hashing over old times. It also gave me the opportunity to tell him, after 25 years, how much I appreciated the way he treated me. Sam was truly a great indiviual and friend. I thank God that I got to tell him so. He will be missed by all who knew him. Put in a good word for me Sam...I'll see you again someday!! -Bob Stine (7/29/02) Dear Family and Friends, In addition to my AOL e-mail address, I may now be contacted at my new work e-mail address which is robert.stine@mci.com My preference is that jokes, etc. continue to be directed to the AOL address.

Bob also worked FYV, PHX and SATO and was about 57 years old. He was the first person to join the FL Club - on Sep 8, 1998. He came to FYV after being cut from MCI and got his airline education in small station operations. He was a good friend and had a great sense of humor which he often needed in FYV when we teased and played tricks on him. He and his wife Liz were married when he was in FYV. He returned to MCI as soon as an opening came up. He's gone way too soon. -Jake Lamkins (9/24/06) That is really a shock about Bob Stine. Thanks for the info and keep us all posted.
