  • 230A Barley Lenderman
    BARLEY LENDERMAN Interview 230a August 10, 2011, at The History Center, Diboll, Texas Jonathan Gerland, Interviewer Patsy Colbert, Transcriber ABSTRACT: In this interview with Jonathan Gerland, longtime Angelina County Airport employee and manager Barley Lenderman reminisces about his career with the airport. Starting during high school in 1972, Mr. Lenderman spent his entire working life at the Angelina County airport, going from mowing and bush hogging the grounds to bookkeeping to assistant manager to manager. He spent 30 years as the airplanes and the field of aviation changed. He talks about the changing aircraft types, the changes in rules and federal regulations and personnel, getting a instrument landing system, lengthening the runways to accommodate larger planes, and the rises in fuel costs. Mr. Lenderman discusses the famous (and infamous) airport visitors, reminisces about commuter air service to Lufkin, and talks about the famous airport café. Jonathan Gerland (hereafter JG): Today’s date is Wednesday August 10, 2011. My name is Jonathan Gerland. We are in the History Center today and I’m with Barley Lenderman and we are going to do an oral history interview. Barley if you would maybe just begin by telling us when and how you came to work at the Angelina County Airport. Barley Lenderman (hereafter BL): Okay, it’s kind of an interesting story how I got started. The first I can remember about the airport I was raised and my informative years when I was young was in Burke and I can remember when I was four or five years old riding over to the airport with my grandfather and we would watch the Trans Texas DC3’s come in.
