If you participated in
aviation training either as a student or an instructor
in Embry-Riddle's pre-university decades of the 1920s through
the 1960s, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University would love to hear
from you. The university is in the midst of collecting and
archiving the history of aviation at the institution as seen
through the eyes of its graduates and instructors. Through The
Heritage Project, you or someone you know, can help pass the legacy
and story of this world class training facility to future
generations.
Whom to contact, to become another part of ERAU's history:
While there are many ways to participate in this fascinating
project, none is more important than sharing what you remember. If
you would like to tell your Embry-Riddle training or aviation
career story, please call or contact Dean Robert Rockett at
386-226-6026 or Robert.Rockett@erau.edu
to be interviewed, so that your reflections can be preserved. If
you would like to contribute photographs or memorabilia (program
booklets, posters, historic aviation gear), please contact Alex
Richmond, archivist, at 386-323-8093 or Alex.Richmond@erau.edu,
to discuss how items can be sent.
Don't get 'disconnected' again:
Embry-Riddle would like to stay
connected with you. If you are not currently receiving information
from the university, log on to www.erau.edu/stayingconnected.
If you need more information about The Heritage Project and the
special events that are planned for Embry-Riddle "alumni" and staff
from 1926 to 1970, log on to www.erau.edu/wingsandwaves
to add your name to the growing list of people who want to bring
history alive. Join your colleagues and classmates at the Wings and
Waves Air Show and Reunion in Daytona Beach, November 7-9. You can
help keep the excitement and passion for flying alive for years to
come, while preserving the legacy of Embry-Riddle.
