For one week in July, the Maj. Gen. Irene Trowell-Harris Chapter of the national organization Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. conducted its inaugural aviation day camp. Among the participants was Cornwall High School freshman MacRae Edelen.
Among the high school seniors to receive scholarships this year is Cornwall’s Joshua Keller. He’ll be receiving $1,000 from the local chapter and $2,000 from the national organization.
Glendon Fraser remembers the first fund-raising events for the local chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen. Some of the original airmen would attend. They were good dancers, despite their age. And they were wonderful story-tellers, who would sometimes embellish their tales.
