Diane Endres-Ballweg

Diane Endres Ballweg is an inspiration to many as mother, grandmother, educator, business executive, community leader, musician, aviator and philanthropist. An advocate of lifelong learning, Diane secretly took flying lessons for two years, surprising family and friends when she became a licensed pilot. She has flown to six continents, navigated remote airstrips, and retraced the flight path of Japanese fighter pilots on their approach to Pearl Harbor. Her love of flying inspired her to establish and teach an aviation class at Edgewood High School.
