How the Fund Started

 

Way back when (mid 60 's) Bob Considine, Gil Breden, and myself (Mel Klawsky) were

 

assigned to desk duty and emergency response. We started the commissary. This was to

 

have coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available at a cost of $1.00 per month. We later added

 

a soda machine. This gave us money for the same things you spend monies on. We also had

 

(at the expense of the PA) large cans of soup for the winter months. I remember a few times

 

 during winter storms that forced us to pick up travelers around the airport and feed them.

 

Oh those war stories.
