A lasting legacy
G’s Scholarship
I started a scholarship at G’s alma mater, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
G loved flying and anything to do with it. She was an air traffic controller for as long as I knew her and, according to her peers, she was a very good one.
Genevieve’s Aviation Career
She was in training at the L.A. Center in Canyon Country when I first met her and was working on September 11, 2001, when the FAA ordered all planes to land within 30 minutes. It was all accomplished without a single event. She was obviously very proud of that, as are all controllers, and rightly so.
Memorial at Embry-Riddle
There is also a memorial bench and palm tree at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach.
