The Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award’s story dates back 70 years. On April 14, 1945, after visiting family in Pittsburgh, Laura Taber Barbour was aboard a Pennsylvania Central Airlines DC-3 when it crashed into the rugged terrain of Cheat Mountain near Morgantown, WVa. All passengers and crew were killed. In the years following, her husband, Dr. Clifford E. Barbour, and son Clifford E. Barbour, Jr. established the Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award in her honor.
