I established the Aviation Scholarship Foundation in 1995. As a charity,
ASF dedicated flight training dollars to youth from impoverished
communities around metro Chicago. In October 2007, I accepted a new
position with my employer, relocating me to Florida. Because of this,
sadly, I must retire the foundation and its long relationship with Lake
Village Airport. For thirteen years, teenagers have been flying gliders and
single-engine airplanes at Lake Village, and studying ground school
lessons in the hangar-home on Lot 13 at Lake Aero Estates. These
thirteen years have been very fulfilling for all of us. My hangar-home is
now for sale. I wish to congratulate all the teenagers who received a
private pilot license. It was great working with you! Please stay in touch.

We were very proud to have original Tuskegee
Airman, Roscoe Draper of Philadelphia kick off
our academy in 2007. He flew to Indiana in a
Cessna Cardinal. Roscoe is 89 years old and still
is an active airplane and helicopter pilot, flight
instructor and retired FAA employee. During WWII,
he served as a flight instructor at Tuskegee.
