JIM RICKARD, 57, a former lumberjack and World War II fighter pilot who sold insurance before joining Hughes as an $80-a-week driver two decades ago. His first job was to chauffeur the flock of Hughes' starlets. He went into the movie business himself with a drive-in theater in Idaho but returned to the Hughes fold after it failed. Rickard is a convert to Mormonism.
CLARENCE ("CHUCK") WALDRON, 41, a onetime cabinetmaker who joined the Hughes organization as a driver about 20 years ago. Phelan describes him as something of an embarrassment to his five low-profile colleagues. "Sometimes he would burst into falsetto song, dance alone to music in public places or suddenly begin to imitate a horse neighing or a dog barking," writes Phelan. A onetime high school football player, Waldron has three children. A fourth drowned last summer in the Bahamas.
