“TempControl’s transport of vaccines and other high-value biopharmaceutical shipments is increasing rapidly,” said Jan Krems, President of United Cargo as the carrier became the first U.S. flag to induct SkyCell temperature-controlled containers.
We celebrate Emery Air Freight's Richard Wiebe, who died on May 29. He was 94 years of age. Thinking about Dick in June 2019, must say he has shone bright in memory, though out of sight for some years now. But his decent kindness will remain with me forever.
Many people thought it odd that a book to save Building One at Newark Airport, titled "Great Airports Newark" and another a year later to save The Marine Air Terminal titled "Great Airports LaGuardia" would also carry the logo of Emery Air Freight.
But one day at a meeting I mentioned to Dick that we should stand for something else in air cargo—and saving our airport history would be a good thing.
Dick, as top corporate communications man for John Emery Jr. picked up the sword and said to me:
“Go ahead and do those books and send us 5,000 copies each," he said.
So I did and he did, and today way ahead of saving the TWA Building at JFK International in 2019, we did our books and managed to save both the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia in 1980 and Building One, now the manager's office in 1990 at Newark (with help from Bob Aaronson). Both are national landmarks.
Trade in your jet plane for a four engine piston pounding flying boat and your cell phone for the shortwave radio. It's summer 1940 in the South Pacific.
