My dad was Delford Caudle.  I was the youngest of his 5 kids.  My sister sent me your website address, 
and I am glad she did.  When I saw the picture of my dad smiling and happy, it made me smile also.  
I remember still to this day how much he loved working at Frontier, and with his "extended family".  
I don't know if you knew him or not, but he was a fine man and a loyal Frontier man. Thank you so much for the memories.  
I am sure my dad would be glad you are reaching out the the Frontier family. 
Thanks again,

Hi Dawnetta,
I remember you when you were little.
I worked with your dad in Fayetteville from 1964 til 1982 when Frontier left.  
Then in 1984 I worked awhile with him in Midland.  I believe you and Layne were with him then.
I'm glad you like his webpage.  If there's anything you or the family want to add, just let me know.

Delford was a senior agent in MAF while I was there. 
I counted it a privilege to call him friend. 
He was a good guy.
