Read More	Eldon Niel Price peacefully passed away early in the morning of February 6th at his home in Colorado Springs. Eldon was born in St. Paul, Nebraska on February 2, 1923. He graduated from Dannebrog High School in 1940 and attended Doane College and the University of Nebraska, before going on to graduate from California Polytechnic University in 1949 with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering. He served in the U.S. Navy as a Naval Aviator toward the end of WWII, with a total of 20 years of service including the Naval Reserves. He worked as a Test Pilot for 10 years, and then in Marketing for Douglas Aircraft Company/McDonnell-Douglas for 40 years. At the peak of his career, he managed all of McDonnell-Douglas' western regional offices. But perhaps Eldon's greatest achievement was inventing the airspeed & altitude calibration system still used today for all commercial airliners. Eldon married Marjorie (Joyce) in Banff, Alberta, Canada on June 3, 1955. They had three children, Shirleyan, Tracie and Stewart. The family's summers were spent at Lake Windermere, British Columbia where Marj's parents lived. Eldon enjoyed woodworking, golfing and travel. He and Marj went on numerous cruises throughout the world. In 2006, Eldon authored "Senior Birdman: The Guy Who Just Had to Fly", a colorful autobiography that retells his fascination with flight. The book won the Eric Hoffer Award in the category of Legacy/Non-Fiction. Eldon loved Big Band music, trivia questions, Husker football, ice cream, English bulldogs, and most of all, his loving family and friends. Eldon is survived by his wife, Marjorie, of 61 years, three children, eight grandchildren and one great granddaughter. A "Celebration of Life" service is being held at Liberty Heights, Colorado Springs on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. (A private burial took place at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Dannebrog, Nebraska.)
