Daniel Cutrer Reflects on His 9/12 Experience
No full textDaniel Cutrer mentions that he and everyone else in the Coast Guard had to step up and make sure that they were doing their job to the best of their ability during this time of uncertainty in the country. The day after 9/11 Cutrer had to fly from Mobile to Vermont to pick up a member of the New York Emergency Management Department that had been on a fishing trip and needed to get back to his duties. This moment stood out in Cutrer\u27s professional career as it was one of the weirdest flights he had ever made. There was complete radio silence other than him and ATC communicating, and no other planes were moving around at the airport.

His final assignment in the Coast Guard was as the Commanding Officer of the Aviation Technical Training Center where the service trains all of its aircraft mechanics, technicians, and Rescue Swimmers. (Some of the scenes in the 2006 Disney movie “The Guardian” were filmed at his prior command).
Earning his military aviator wings of gold in March of 1981, he has accumulated over 5,200 hours flying in fixed-wing aircraft, including the Beechcraft T-34C Mentor, the Beechcraft T-44A King Air, Grumman HU-16E Albatross, the Convair HC-131A Samaritan, and the Dassault HU-25A Falcon. Along the way, he also earned an FAA Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate and an FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) Mechanic certificate.
Dr. Cutrer began his academic career in 2002, serving as an Adjunct Instructor for Embry-Riddle’s Extended Campus, teaching graduate and undergraduate courses (both in the classroom and on-line) in aviation safety and aviation management. During this time, he also served as the Center Faculty Chair for the newly opened Extended Campus Center in Elizabeth City, NC. Since the fall of 2006, he has worked as a full-time professor at the main campus in Daytona Beach, setting up the ERAU residential undergraduate homeland security degree program and serving as the Homeland Security Program Coordinator. He currently serves as the Associate Department Chair for the SSIA Dept. Dr. Cutrer also played a key role in instituting the ERAU Worldwide undergraduate degree program in homeland security (HLSD), serving as course developer for many of the courses. In his spare time, he teaches graduate, undergraduate, and professional program courses in aviation safety management and in aircraft accident investigation.
His academic credentials include a Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration (specialization in Homeland Security) from Northcentral University in Prescott, AZ in 2012, a Master\u27s Degree in Aviation Management/Safety from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2001, and a Bachelor of Science degree (majoring in Literature/History) from the University of the State of New York in 1993.
A native of the bayous of Louisiana, Dr. Cutrer is married, with two grown daughters and five grandchildren. He is into raising horses (currently own about a dozen), making music, tinkering with computers, reading and writing fiction, and sharing time with his wife, Valerie.https://commons.erau.edu/veterans-week-images/1003/thumbnail.jp

Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients

No full text(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

Meet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree
No full textMeet Daniel Melnick author of The Ash Tree. It tells a timeless story of the romance and marriage between an American Armenian girl and an immigrant who survived the 1915 Armenian Genocide in Turkey. In the aftermath of the Genocide from the 20s through the early 70s, the couple and their three children become vivid, quintessentially American characters, only for tragedy to find them again, echoing the staggering losses of 1915. The cover painting with its frayed, whitewashed frame is by the author’s wife, Jeanette Arax Melnick, and the novel is based partly on the lives of her family. Combining history and fictionalized memoir, The Ash Tree is an important, beautifully written novel of survival, new life, and heartbreak. Available from independent bookstores, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com. Further information at www.danielmelnick.com. Price: $25. ISBN: 9780981854762
