Say Hello To The Dorceys!
With the final days before the official start to EAA AirVenture
2006 counting down all too rapidly... and, not quickly enough...
ANN's senior staff is all-too-aware of the Herculean task ahead of
us in reporting EVERYTHING that's news at The World's Greatest
Aviation Celebration.
Fortunately, this year we'll have some help... and some really
GREAT help at that. As we've already told you, Aero-News is
bringing its largest staff EVER to AirVenture this year... and over
the next several days, we thought we'd take the time to introduce
you to the staff members -- both full-time, as well as our
"stringers" -- who will be bringing our readers and listeners all
the news that's fit to pixilate from Oshkosh this year.
And now, without further adieu...
Rose Dorcey
Rose is an instrument rated pilot who has been flying for 15
years. She is an author who has written extensively on aviation
topics in several aviation publications. She recently edited a book
entitled, Blue Sky Moments, A Collection of Wisconsin Aviation
Memories. Rose is the 2006 recipient of the Wisconsin Airport
Management Association's Blue Light Award, for excellence in
reporting Wisconsin aviation news. Rose serves as president of the
Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame and as editor of the
organization’s 20-page newsletter, Forward in Aviation. Her
interest in aviation began when she was a young girl watching crop
dusters fly over the cranberry bogs near where she grew up in
Central Wisconsin.
John Dorcey
John, an Air Force Veteran, is an Aviation Consultant with the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Bureau of Aeronautics. He
has been an airline transport rated pilot and flight instructor for
over 30 years; he is also a certificated aircraft mechanic and
airworthiness inspector. John has a cavernous interest in aviation
history and is a board member of the Wisconsin Aviation Hall of
Fame. He has given hundreds of presentations on aviation safety and
aviation history. His interest in flying began when he took a
"Penny-a-Pound" airplane ride as a young boy.
Rose and John were married at Fergus Chapel, right on the EAA
grounds at Wittman Field. They've been a part of ANN's coverage of
Oshkosh for several years.
Stay tuned as we introduce more of our stringers and staffers in
days to come!
