Rick Toucey

Citadel 1966 Graduate with a BS in Business Administration.

I attended Pilot Training Selma, Alabama at Craig AFB and graduated in December of 1967. I was B-52 Pilot with 224 combat missions and was awarded the DFC. I was stationed at McCoy AFB, Orlando from 1968-1972.

I was hired as an air line pilot in 1973, at Southern Airways which became Republic in 1981 and in 1986 we merged with NWA. After I retired NWA merged with Delta. Each air line I was with alll happened all through mergers. I was based in ATL till 1985 and finished my career commuting to Detroit till 2003, when I retired.
Although I was based in Detroit most of my career I continued to live in Duluth, Ga.

My brother Don Toucey was a MtL '64 graduate. Don sadly passed away in August 2015. Don was also great swimmer and was Captain of the swim team. Don spent most of his career in the floral business in Indiana PA where he raised four wonderful daughters who all attended I.U.

I was fortunate to be on the undefeated swim team all four years and was an HS All American swimmer my Junior and senior year on medley relay team. It was an honor to swim four years with the Tom Trethewey, the fastest breaststroker in the country and to be coached by two fine coaches, Coach Grant and Coach Sanders. In the early 90's when I could no long jog anymore I took up swimming again and one two one mile and one three mile swim in the Cayman Islands over a four year period. Nice to still get trophies at that age for sure.
