ERAU stands for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. It's in Daytona
Beach. They offer degrees in flight, various aviation maintenance, and
aerospace and electrical engineering. I had a suite mate my freshman
year by the name of John Davies. Thanks for the reply though.

Gee, if you had said Embry-Riddle I would have known right off what
you were talking about. I never went there, but I earned my A&P
licenses from Spartan in Tulsa in 1977.
