Paul H. Poberenzy, founder of EAA, passed away last week on August 22. Without his work, groups such as ours here at EAA Chapter 569 would not exist. Paul was a high school student when his aviation career began, and he turned out to be one of the world’s greatest aviation leaders. Paul served in World War II and the Korean conflict. Following his service, he founded a small club in 1953 of aircraft builders and restorers, which ultimately affected many people’s lives and opened the door to what we know today as the Experimental Aircraft Association.
