Needing USMA 1970 Memorial Articles! Help!!

USMA 1970 is soliciting classmates to write “Memorial Articles” in accordance with the guidance from AOG found here:

https://www.westpointaog.org/memorials 

We would like to be "up to date” with these Memorial Articles  by our 50th reunion 17-20 May 2020. Some of our classmates (well known and admired) died shortly after graduation and still do not have a memorial article!

Delayed articles are a disservice to our classmates (and their families) and a blemish to our Class! 

If you are interested in helping, please visit this site  and let our Class Scribe, Earl Albright, know at earl.albright@att.net 

Here is a list of USMA 1970 Memorial Articles needed as of 20 July 2017, by USCC Regiment and Cadet Company at Graduation, 1970.  Last column is date of death.

Thanks!

RIP, Jerry Minor, USMA 1970, D4

I write with deepest regret to tell you that Jerry Minor passed away in his sleep Friday night - Saturday morning.  

Chick Edmonston was with him in Colorado on an outing and is still there and knows the details.

I've talked to Molly Minor, Jerry's sister in Austin, as well as Rolf Knoll and Jim Sullivan.

Jerry is survived by his wife, Bess, who is in Pasadena and son, Sky, in California as well as sister Molly in Austin, TX and younger brother, James, also in TX.

Don't know what arrangements are being made, but would expect Chick to know best when they are decided.

Pls notify the class.

Thanks.
Larry

Subject: Dave Cortese died this morning

Fellow D-3ers,
I just spoke with Chris Cortese in Michigan. Dave died this morning of an apparent heart attack. Chris said Dave went out for a run this morning and the next thing she knew, the police were at the door. Their children are with her; they all live in close proximity to the Cortese home.
Dave Cortese...who would have expected this? He was one of the fittest of our group; he no doubt still fit into his dress grey jacket.
Chris will inform me of arrangements;
