After his retirement, he interviewed retired United Airlines pilots and personnel and did extensive research on the history of United Airlines. He also did some research on his uncle Arthur Hutchinson, who was one of the owners of the Hutchinson Ranch near Salida, Colorado during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
