  • Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville
    CHIEF JEAN BAPTISTE RICHARDVILLE By Craig Leonard «««««««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville was the civil chief of the Miami Indians from 1816 until his death in 1841. He was born at the Miami village of Kekionga (Fort Wayne) about 1761 and was known by his Miami name, Peshewa ("the lynx," "the wildcat"), and later by the Anglicized version of his name, John B. Richardville. Richardville's father was Joseph Druet de Richardville, a French-Canadian trader of noble ancestry whose family members, the Drouets, were among the most prominent nobility, officers, and traders in New France. Tacumwah (Maria Louisa Richardville), Richardville's mother, was the sister of Pacanne, the chief of the village at Kekionga. Joseph apparently remained at Kekionga from about 1750 to 1770; he then returned to Three Rivers, Canada, where his son later joined him for a few years to receive a formal education. Drouet and Tacumwah are known to have had three other children, but little is known of them or where they spent their lives. Tacumwah, who had the status of a female chieftain among the Miami, later married another French trader, Charles Beaubien. Several factors destined Richardville for prominence. The Miami tribe had at least five major divisions, of which the foremost were the Atchatchakangouen, or Crane People. The head chief of this group was deferred to by the heads of the other divisions as the entire tribe's civil chief. The Atchatchakangouen head chief was Pacanne, the leader at Kekionga. Among the Miami, war chiefs were chosen for their prowess in battle, but succession to civil chieftain was hereditary.

  • FBO General Manager
    THE AIRPORT Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA) and Smith Field (SMD) are owned and operated by the Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority. This is an independent authority with total autonomy from local government. There are 73 full time positions at FWA. The 2016 operating budget is $17.4 million with a capital budget of $11 million. Over 718,000 passengers utilized FWA in 2015 and the annual airport operations figure was over 36,000. The Authority is self-funded and derives its operating revenue from a variety of airport user-related fees and local property tax revenues. SMD is located on the city's North side and serves the area's general aviation needs. The Authority is responsible for the day-to-day operations and long term planning for both airports. It is governed by a 6-member Board of Directors that sets policy, approves the budget and hires the airport’s Executive Director. The Executive Director is responsible for all additional hiring. The Board is comprised of 3 members appointed by the Mayor of Ft. Wayne and 3 members appointed by the Commissioners of Allen County. On January 1 Fort Wayne Aero Center, the Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority's new fixed base operator (FBO) at Fort Wayne International Airport opened for business. As northeast Indiana's premier full-service FBO, the newly-constructed 12,000 square foot facility boasts high-end architectural considerations-such as floor-to-ceiling color-tinted windows in various shades of blue and green overlooking the airfield-and an array of pilot amenities, including a lounge and private rest area, WiFi, two conference rooms with audio/visual capabilities, a fitness center, and more.
