Norm M. Shulman

Norm M. Shulman (Wheelock’77) of Lubbock, Tex., released the second edition of his memoir, Love, Norm: Inspiration of a Jewish American Fighter Pilot (Texas Tech University Press, 2nd ed., 2024). When his stepson decided to enlist in the Air Force, and later confessed to feeling isolated during his undergraduate pilot training, Norm set out to encourage and inspire him by delving into the history of Jewish people in the military. The result, a series of 52 letters to his stepson, became the foundation for Love, Norm. Norm is a psychologist with more than 50 years of experience in the field and a lifelong scholar of Jewish history. His stepson, Captain Greg “Glick” Levenson, is a decorated F-16 combat pilot.
