honorary, and Wolf Knights,
men s service club. He was en
rolled in the civilian pilot train

his work in this field.

of 1940, he transferred in Janu
ary, 1942, to the air force and re

his friends at OCE. It is with a
sense of deep personal loss for a

few words are written in appre
ciation for his fineness of char
acter and respect for his willing
ness to fight and die for his coun
try. (Taken from the Lamron,
student publication of OCE.)
