STU WOTTON IN MEMORIAM


ONA CREW REMEMBERS STU
Sorry to hear about Stu Wotton, we worked with him in the training department, a very nice man. My deepest felt condolences to his family.
From Marie Brennan, Florida
I am sorry to lose Stu Wotton along with all the others, a friend and excellent crew member who I flew with many times. I knew he lost his son at 9-11 and take some refuge in my grief knowing that he is with him now. Best regards to all, George Flavell, Florida
I was sorry to hear that Stu Wotton died, he was a great guy. Below photographs are from the ONA Training Department in 1969. I was working with Marliese Berger and Judy Lonergan at that time. To start with, there is the photo of the gorgeous Marie Brennan, Stu Wotton, Scottie and me (Maggie Lloyd) taken in April 1969. The second photo is of Frank Schooley at his graduation April 1969. Both Stu and Frank were instructors. Rest in peace, dear Stu.
Greetings from Maggie Lloyd Zeibak, San Clemente CA
