The Gilchrist Foundation
Thank you to The Gilchrist Foundation for funding the newest improvement to our grounds. Because of their generosity, we were able to relocate the United 232 Memorial Garden. The new green space sits on the edge of Runway 22 and gives our visitors a place of comfort and reflection.

35th Anniversary of Flight 232
Thank you to all who came to our special presentation with Mitch Simmons. We closed the 35th Anniversary of Flight 232 by honoring the 112 who lost their lives with a new garden. Everyone was invited to place a stone. Susan White placed the first stone in honor of flight attendant Rene LeBeau who was 23 in 1989, from Schaumburg, Illinois.
