Millie Cable Millie was only thirteen when her father and mother started to build the airport, and she pitched in to do her part in making it successful. As soon as she could, she started flying and soloed when she was seventeen.
Millie started by tracking the number of truck loads of top soil that were being delivered from the nearby quarry. Her mother, Maude, then taught her how to keep the books and other office records. When Maude passed away in 1954, Millie inherited the job of airport office manager as well as bookkeeper. As if that wasn't enough, she also did the same thing for the flight school and the air taxi service. Millie continued to work at the airport until she married and started a family of her own. Today her son, Michael, is President of the Cable Land Company, the airport landlord, as well as owner of Maniac-Mikes. He is married to Annette and they live in Pomona with their two children Kristina and Michael Jr. Craig, Millie's other son, lives in Rio Linda Ca. with his wife Rusty. He is the owner of Boss Maintenance which contracts to Industrial/Commercial property. A few years after Millie left to raise her family, Roger talked her into returning to help him with the commuter airline. She stayed with them until it was bought out. Millie passed away May 29, 1999 of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). Dewey and the boys were the dreamers and the doers. Millie, like her mother, did the bookkeeping and paperwork necessary to make the dreams into a successful business. She was the adhesive that held it all together.
