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
