Col. Craigwell starts a blog

This is a place you can check out to see what Col. Ernest Craigwell Jr (retired) is up to these days. As you'll see from exploring this blog, he's a highly decorated retired fighter pilot who served in three wars--WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, and he's developing a reputation as an effective motivational speaker. His experience and perspective as a leader at work, home, church, and in his community--particularly as one of the Tuskegee Airmen--infuse his beliefs about the role of preparation and responsibility in finding ways to serve others. His extensive knowledge of military history provides important context to his remarks.

Col. Craigwell also knows how to have fun. Among many hobbies and interest, his current and enduring loves include fishing and recumbant cycling. Going on 82, he rides between 10-15 miles a day several days a week. An avid reader, he's made it a point to live life to its fullest, physically, as well, with scuba diving, surfing, and swimming.

You can contact Col. Craigwell through Tuskegee in Alabama.
