For Veteran’s Day, we chose to honor Lt. Douglas Holt, one of the key people who made the Kelch Aviation Museum a reality. An original trustee of the Alfred & Lois Kelch Charitable Trust and a mentor and advisor to the early Kelch Aviation Museum staff, Doug was a renown pilot in his own right, chronicling his WWII service in his book, “Lucky Dog.”

Thank you for your service, Doug, and for your expert guidance in making the museum a reality.
