Marie Schuette and Archie Towle are a father and
daughter team who made an impact on aviation for more than 75 years.
Archie became involved in 1928. He barnstormed, was an aerobatic
performer, provided a full range of expertise by managing the Wausau
Airport and served as the airport's FBO giving flight instruction
and maintaining aircraft. Archie also worked on and provided
leadership to numerous local, state and national aviation committees
seeing the industry move through its formative years.
Upon Archie's untimely death in 1945 Marie assumed
responsibility for the FBO. This continued as the business
transitioned into Grimm Flying Service and one of the state's
largest flight schools. Marie, like her father, served on a number
of state and national committees and association's boards. She has
been recognized by numerous organizations and government agencies
and featured in aviation periodicals. The aviation industry, on all
levels, has benefited through the efforts of this father and
daughter team.
