President's Advisory Council gets sneak peak at Aviation Museum

Whitcomb honored for aviation accomplishments

In June, the annual President's Advisory Council (PAC) recognition dinner was held at the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks, Conn. PAC members (donors of $1,500 or more to WPI) were among the first to see the museum's newest exhibit, a handsomely restored B-29 bomber.

That same evening, President Edward Alton Parrish presented Richard Whitcomb '43 with the WPI Presidential Medal in honor of his groundbreaking work in the field of aviation (Transformations, Fall 2002). The dinner was a precursor to a series of events this fall, including a special issue of Transformations, honoring the 100th anniversary of powered flight.
