Aviation, in all its aspects, was Earle's lifelong love, hobby, and vocation. In his younger years, he lived near the FAA's experimental station in Pomona, New Jersey and caught the aviation bug as he watched WWII era Navy aircraft fly in and out of the base (It was then a Naval air base). He graduated from the University of Delaware in 1971 with a Master's degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and related sciences. His only goal was to work as an aircraft design engineer. He earned his private pilot's license, also a lifelong goal, and enjoyed a productive engineering career with Boeing Co., Helicopter division, Philadelphia. He retired after 30 years with Boeing in 2001.
