With great sadness do I pass on the death notice of our classmate and good friend Ted Studley.  The following tribute was prepared by Ted's longtime friend, classmate and racing partner....... 

We have learned of the passing of my good friend, 61-Delta Classmate Theodore "Ted" Studley (Captain Delta Air Lines, Ret)

  

Ted trained with 61-Delta at Bainbridge AB, GA, and earned his USAF Pilot's Wings at Vance AFB, OK.

Ted Studley

Captain Ted Studley passed away October 10, 2015 at the age of 78 years.
Following a USAF assignment as a B-47 pilot with the Strategic Air Command (SAC), Ted flew with Delta Air Lines.
He retired as the Delta Captain with the highest number of flight hours in the Delta DC-8 Aircraft.
After retiring from Delta, Ted pursued his dream of auto racing. His goal was to race in all 48 contiguous states.
He succeeded in winning a track championship at the Anderson South Carolina Motor Speedway.
Ted actively raced until Alzheimers took its toll.

Our condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with Mina and the family.
