Jeanne Ohnemus

Jeanne Ohnemus (DGE’48) of Haverhill, Mass., writes that since graduation, she and her husband have earned private, commercial, instrument, and multi ratings pilot’s licenses, and have flown to Florida, California, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Bahamas. “Piper Comanche planes were our favorite,” she says. Her big news: “jumping out of a DeHavilland Twin Otter aircraft when I was 86, beating President Bush and his tandem jump. That was an unexpected event not really on my bucket list, but indeed a rather thrilling accomplishment. Until that moment, I fully expected to be in the left seat and in control of any of the many planes I flew!”
