ADELMANN, John E. (New Rochelle, NY, Feb. 5, 1950--Dubuque, IA, Dec. 12, 2023). John received the Iowa Teacher of the Year award for his work as a teacher at the CENTRAL ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL. In 1998 he challenged his history classes to research the Tuskegee Airmen, famed for their service in WORLD WAR II. Their work was ultimately published as a 230-page reference.

Proceeds from sales of the book exceeded $10,000 and were given to the Red Tail Project in Minneapolis to restore a P-51 Mustang to honor the Tuskegee fliers. Additionally in 2005 his students researched the history of the Dubuque Shot Tower that resulted in a published book. His spare time also found him creating many amazing model airplanes which he wanted all to enjoy.
