College of Aviation
When the program moved to Battle Creek, this was “his cherry on the sundae.” Deckard didn’t take long to find a new enjoyment during retirement.

For the past seven and a half years, Deckard has been spending his time delivering RV’s to dealerships and customers using his own large pickup truck, which has faithfully driven him over 640,000 miles.
