In July 2013 Dee’s family, under the leadership of Dee’s daughter, Dee Ann Bridges, and I established The Dee Howard Foundation Donor Advised Fund at the San Antonio Area Foundation “…to preserve and build on the legacies of Dee Howard, Ed Swearingen, and other San Antonio aviation pioneers by improving access to and the quality of education, technical skills training, and employment opportunities in the San Antonio Region and continuing the legacy of innovative technological leadership in the global aviation and aerospace markets.”
