Harvard began flying Young Eagles after getting familiar with the Mooney and Sara volunteered for the ground crew. Harvard & Sara Holmes have been active in EAA 393 since 1997 and were honored in 2022 with a lifetime membership in Chapter 393 for their many years of service to our organization. They both have received the Chapter Perpetual Award; Harvard in 2004 and Sara in 2020. The steady theme of Harvard & Sara is that they have always been very active in many aspects of our Chapter that have been instrumental in leading the Chapter throughout the years.
