DURANT AIRPORT
via email from Michele Harris, 9-14-06
Durant Airport was named after Cliff. Huge story in the "Roscommon Herald", the local paper. Many dignitaries and aviators
showed up from around the country. Airshow, bands, all kinds of events, it drew the largest crowd in history (at that time).
The airport no longer exists; a Ford (ironic) dealership and industrial park occupy the site now. The airport was named after
Cliff because he was so instrumental in bringing aviation (among other things) to the area. |
