George Schultz, '67, retires his wings
George Schultz is an occasional contributor here. He's a couple years younger than most readers. He sent a picture and a note from his recent retirement. Thanks for the note, George. Wish we could get members of the Class of '65 to do this. -- and Congratulations on a distinguished career!
Stan,
In February, I retired from American Airlines after a 29-year career. It was a great ride, and I know I will really miss the people and the flying, but not all of the other stuff that goes along with the job these days.
Here are a couple of pictures we took on my "swan song" flight. It was a fun 29 years, but I think it is time to move on to other things.

The first photo shows George sitting in the cockpit while awaiting his gate. "It was snowing like mad in Chicago that day," he said, "and of course, we had a 20-minute wait for our gate while airplanes were being de-iced. The other photo shows the crew from his final flight. The First Officer is also a Minnesota boy, from St. Paul, a huge Gopher hockey fan who builds his flying schedules around the hockey games. He always takes time off to go the Frozen Four. " I think he would fit in great with the Alex Super Fans," George observed, adding, "My brother-in-law says that I would still be flying if all my Flight Attendants looked like these lovely ladies!"
