Bond holds degrees from Queen's College, London, McGill University and a law degree from the University of Virginia where he was a brother of The Sigma Phi Society.
He was also Secretary of the Illinois Department of Transportation, Chief of Staff for the U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Alan S. Boyd and president of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).[1]
Langhorne M. Bond, a former head of the FAA whose name has long been associated with the landmark 1979 crash of American Airlines Flight 191 in Chicago, died January 29. He was 84.
His school career has been marked by neither triumph nor disaster, and he has steered comfortably between the Scylla of "dumb athlete" and the Charybdis of "greasy grind."
