Tom Joyner was born in Tuskegee and graduated with a degree in Sociology. While at Tuskegee, he became a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. In 1985, Tom worked at 2 radio stations – Dallas in the morning and Chicago in the afternoon. This schedule earned him the nicknames “The Fly Jock” and “The Hardest Working Man in Radio”. Tom has been a big supporter of Tuskegee University and HBCUs as a whole. Since 1998, the Tom Joyner Foundation has raised more than $65 million to help students enrolled in HBCUs. Upon retiring, Tom declared, “… for the next two years we’re going to reminisce, go down Memory Lane and talk about all the things we’ve done for the past 25 years”. Farewell Tom! See you Saturday,

“It’s a bird! It’s a plane!” It’s the T-7A Red Hawk and it’s the name of the Air Force’s next-generation training jet. The name pays tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black military aviators who flew during World War II as part of the Army Corps, the precursor to the U.S. Air Force. The Tuskegee Airmen were known as “Red Tails” due to the red paint on their aircraft. The RDTAC is proud to dedicate the 2020 calendar to these prestigious men in American history. TU Alumni, calendars were distributed at the September meeting. At this point, we have already sold 100. RDTAC, please continue to sell calendars. Calendars are the RDTAC’s signature fundraiser, with proceeds going towards our endowment fund and scholarships. If any alumni need more calendars or would like to receive any, please contact Henry Wall – (919) 264-7259. We will have an update of inventory and calendar sales at the October meeting . . .
