Obituary: In honor of Vera E. Durant: 23, 1929 to 4, 2015 Proverbs 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. There is no doubt, Vera E. Durant, feared and loved the Lord! Her faithfulness to the Lord without a doubt has been rewarded with a peaceful rest in heaven. She was a devout Christian and school teacher at Calvary Baptist church where she was a member for 66 years in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She lived in McAlester in her youth but moved to Tulsa in 1954. She is the last survivor of her family of 3 older brothers and an older sister. She spent her final last years in Miami, Florida, living with her only son, Kelly Durant. Her favorite pastime in her later years was watching Christian TV teaching and praising, the news, Doctor Phil, and Judge Judy. All her life she remained friendly, generous, and good hearted towards everyone. She read the Bible everyday and upon her passing with heart failure she was listening to the following being read to her by Regina (daughter βin-law). Psalm 61 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. |

Obituary: Frederick C. Durant (1916-2015) Frederick C. Durant, III, the former Assistant Director for Astronautics of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and one of the world's foremost authorities of spaceflight and rocketry, died on 21 2015 in Mount Dora, Florida, at age 98. Mr. Durant was born in Ardmore, Pennsylvania into a distinguished Philadelphia family. Two of his forbearers include Thomas C. Durant of the Union Pacific Railroad and Joseph Harrison who was one of the great engineers of the 19th century. Mr. Durant grew up at the family home located at 16th and Locust Streets in Philadelphia, just two blocks from his fraternal grandparents, who lived in a house on the far side of Rittenhouse Square. His father, Frederick C. Durant Jr., was a Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Colorado School of Mines-educated engineer who had been President of the Keystone Telephone for the last 20 years of his life. Mr. Durant received a B.S. Degree in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh University in 1939 as he had become drawn to chemistry as a boy after being given a gift of a chemistry set that allowed him to create experiments with various concoctions which invariably ended with a loudbang or in his words “whizzing”. At the same time, he developed a life-long love of magic: he maintained his membership in the Society of American Magicians throughout his life. Fresh out of university, he worked as a chemical engineer with the E.I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., at Pennsgrove, New Jersey from 1939 through 1941. In May of 1941, Mr. Durant left DuPont to enlist in the U.S. Navy as a naval aviation cadet. Heserved until 1946 as a naval aviator, flight instructor, and test pilot, flying about 30 different types of aircraft from Piper Cubs and PBYs to the B-26. A peptic ulcer prevented him from seeing combat overseas. He later retired from the Navy as a Commander in the Naval Reserve. He recounted that his “love of aviation” began at age ten when he became engrossed in the media coverage of Charles Lindbergh’s solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Mr. Durant’s interest in aviation intensified after he personally saw Charles Lindbergh pass by his home while on parade in Philadelphia late in 1927. In 1947, Mr. Durant began his long and very distinguished career in the rocket and missile fieldas a rocket engineer with the Bell Aircraft Corp. in Buffalo, N.Y. He then served as the Director of Engineering at the Naval Rocket Test Station at Dover, New Jersey, from 1948 to 1951. Additionally, he became an enthusiast and ardent promoter of space flight. In 1953, he became the President of the American Rocket Society (ARS), now known as the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and as early as 1951, spearheaded the organization and growth of the nascent International Astronautical Federation (IAF). From 1953 through 1955, Mr. Durant served as the second President of the IAF. During the late 1940s through the later 1950s, he became a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society, the German Society for Aviation and Space Flight (DGLR), the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences, and innumerable US and international astronautical societies, some of which he personally assisted in organizing. Other aerospace positions he held were with Arthur D. Little, Inc., at Cambridge, Mass., and the Avco-Everett Research Laboratory at Everett, Mass. He was also a consultant to the Department of Defense, Bell Aerosystems Co., and other companies and organizations. From 1954 to 1955, Durant played a key role in the organization of Project Orbiter, headed by Wernher von Braun, which was a joint U.S. Navy-Army project for launching a minimum weight satellite. The first U.S. satellite, the Army's Explorer 1, launched in 1958, was a direct outgrowth of the Orbiter concept. In 1965, Mr. Durant joined the staff of the Smithsonian Institution as an Assistant Director of the National Air and Space Museum. Over the course of the next 15 years, he greatly built up the space and rocketry collections at the Museum, including the creation of its space art collections. Part of Mr. Durant’s multi-faceted legacy is that his collecting efforts on behalf of the Smithsonian left that institution with a plethora of artifacts that are now considered among the finest of their type in the world. Mr. Durant retired from the Museum in 1980 but continued to be active in the field of astronautics, serving in the 1980s, for example, as an historian and consultant with INTELSAT to establish their archives. For a number of years, Mr. Durant had also authored the “Rockets and Guided Missiles” and “Space Exploration” in the Encyclopedia Britannica entries as well as many other articles and academic papers on space flight, all the while he lectured as a leading authority on rocket and space flight history. His wide international circle of lifelong friends and colleagues in these fields included such world notables as the late Wernher von Braun, Sir Arthur C. Clarke and Frederick I. Ordway, III. In retirement, Mr. Durant represented the interests of several space artists and his roster included such internationally renowned names as Chesley Bonestell, the Czech astronomical artist Ludek Pesek and the Russian space artist Andrei Sokolov. Mr. Durant’s first wife, Celeste Bennett died from hepatitis and his second wife Carolyn Jones whom he married in 1947 preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his sons Derek Durant and William Durant and is survived by his daughter Carolyn (Peter) Gable and son Stephen (Teresa) Durant, 6 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, and extended family and friends. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to Cornerstone Hospice, 2445 Lane Park Rd., Tavares, FL 32778. under the direction of Baldwin Fairchild , Apopka Chapel, FL 32712. |
