Jeff Spangler:  

white checkered water tower where I was in the Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity. While at Phi Kappa Theta my sophomore year, I met and started dating Loraine Long, who would become my wife after graduating. I moved off campus into an apartment on Vine street my senior year. I graduated from Aviation Technology (Professional Pilot Training Major) in May of 1983 and Loraine and I married two weeks later. She had a double major in Public Relations and Criminology/Criminal Justice and had one more semester to take, so we lived in married student housing just a couple of blocks up the street from Phi Kappa Theta. I worked as a bag boy then grocery stocker at Eisner's (now Jewell) out on Hwy 52 and flight instructed for Purdue during my senior year, then Lafayette Aviation right after graduating for one year. Workplace After college I was a flight instructor/charter pilot for about a year (1983-1984). Then flew DC-8's for Rosenbalm Aviation (Emery Air Freight) for about 3 1/2 years (1984-1987). Next, I flew for America West out of Phoenix for 2 1/2 years(1987-1990). Then I left America West for US Air (seemed like a good move at the time) and was furloughed one year later in January of 1991. Delta hired me in April of 1991 where I am now flying as a captain on the Boeing 767 and 757 in domestic operations.
