A New Centenarian at Duncan Nutrition Site

Duncan North Nutrition Site has welcomed the centenary birthday of retired pilot John Shipman. He served as a flight instructor or pilot for much of his career, including World War II. In 1986, he donated a Bucker Jungmeister biplane, based on a 1935 German design, to the Oklahoma Air Space Museum. Celebrating with him were his daughter Karen McFarland, niece Sharon Holden, great-nephew Greg Holden, and sister Charlotte Casico. Mr. Shipman received letters from both President Barack Obama and Governor Mary Fallin to commemorate his birthday.
