of South Bend, Indiana. Born in
1941, his parochial education was
halted at age seventeen. At graduation
from High school, he was
faced with a serious job shortage.
The military, however, seemed to
be a practical step. With limited
options and a depressed economy,
he enlisted in the Air Force. He
would spend the next four years in
direct, daily contact with airplanes.
Some would be jets but mostly reciprocating
cargo aircraft; principally
C-124’s and C-47’s. During a
2 year assignment in the Territory
of Alaska, he would often fly as an
in-flight mechanic. Heady stuff for
a 17 or18 year old, but the seed
had been planted and was taking
root. Thanks to the Vietnam
GI Bill, a B.S. Degree from Indiana
University was soon in hand. Add
an understanding wife and, it was
time for flying lessons and a Private
Pilot license. The rest, as they
say, is history.voir moins
