Among Them: Field Morey and "Duffy" Gaier
The Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame announced today that five
Wisconsin aviators would be inducted into the Hall of Fame at a
banquet to be held at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh (WI).
Among this year's inductees are two men with similar, yet equally
deserving backgrounds, Field Morey and Harold "Duffy" Gaier.
Both Morey and Gaier are well known throughout the State of
Wisconsin; both are designated pilot examiners and both are
aviation entrepreneurs who have made many contributions to aviation
through their innovative business and teaching methods.
The late Herb Hardrath, who was employed by NASA for 33 years in
aerospace materials research, will also be inducted. Hardrath was
involved with the Apollo moon program.
Paul Culver and Walter Lees will be inducted in the Pioneer
category. The Pioneer category was established to honor those who
have made significant contributions to aviation before 1927.
The 2004 Carl Guell Memorial Scholarship will also be presented.
Torran McCarthy, Milton, Wisconsin, a student in the Airframe and
Powerplant Mechanic Program at Blackhawk Technical College,
Janesville, Wisconsin, will receive the $1000 award.
The inductees will be enshrined at a ceremony to be held in the
Eagle Hangar at the EAA Museum on Saturday, November 6. Plaques
will be presented to the inductees and then permanently displayed
in the Fergus Plaza at the museum.
The Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame was organized in 1985 and
has inducted over 65 men and women who have made significant
achievements to aviation in Wisconsin. The goal of the organization
is to collect and preserve the history of aviation in Wisconsin,
recognize those who made that history, inform others of it, and
promote aviation education to future generations.
