Meet the Board
- Lowell DePoy- Lowell DePoy resides in
Hardinsburg, Indiana and has been happily married for 41 years to
his wife Rhonda. He was formally a Communication Technician for
AT&T. Upon retiring, he returned to school and earned his Bachelors
and Masters degrees in Education. He is currently working as an
elementary school teacher and in administration.
DePoy has been involved in
aviation since childhood, beginning with an interest in building model
airplanes. He now has his pilot’s license and is the owner of a J-3
Piper Cub and a Piper Tri-Pacer. As a member of the Board of Directors,
he hopes to see the displays continually grow, further engage the total
community and further enhance the Piper story worldwide.
- Harry Mutter- Harry Mutter resides in
Media, Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia. He learned to fly in
1946 at the age of 16 when he received a scholarship from the Civil
Air Patrol. He is a retired engineer from Boeing where he worked for
35 years in test management. Prior to working at Boeing, he served
in the Air Force as a radio operator and earned a Bachelors degree
in Nautical Engineering from Parks College in St. Louis. He is
currently the Historian for the museum and has worked previously as
the Editor for the Cub Reporter, PAM’s newsletter.
Mutter has also been active with the WASP
organization, bringing them to Lock Haven for Sentimental Journey in
1995 and still attends several major air shows yearly. He was the
previous owner of the City of Angels, a Piper PA-12, which was flown
around the world. While he was the owner, he flew the plane to shows
across the country to help promote the museum and even earned it
worldwide recognition. He has since donated the plane to PAM. This
donation is no surprise considering his goals as a member of the
museum’s Board of Directors, which are to continue expanding on the
history of Piper through the Archives and to obtain more Piper aircraft
to have on display in the museum. He is currently negotiating with the
Comanche Society to have them donate Max Conrad’s record setting
Comanche to add to the Conrad display the museum currently has.
