William H. Trutt

To the Trutt family, My father and uncles were all taught to fly in 1946 by Bill at the Selinsgrove Airport. Bill taught me to fly in 1954 in my father's Aeronca L3. I will never forget the time we flew to Harrisburg to get my picture ID. Marie Corbin gave me Bill's phone number and I tried to call him but phone had been disconnected. I will never forget Bill, he was a great instructor. You have our prayers and deepest sympathy as he was a wonderful man.

William Trutt was my great-grandfather.. He was the reason I decided to join the military and he was by far the most proud person when he was told that I enlisted in the military. I will hold him with me in my heart as I go through basic training for the United States Air Force, which I will begin on January 20th, 2009. My Pappy Trutt ment more to me then anyone really knew and I know he's with my great-grandmother now, and I know they're going to be in my heart from now until my dying day....
