Since then our daughter and son-in-law, two grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, who are now 10 and 12, frequently come down to visit us.

Gus was a strong man who suffered through a long, slow time before his death. In response to many classmates, he wrote this: "It has been said that a man who could count on two real, good friends is indeed a fortunate man. As I approach the end of a long and rewarding life I am being reminded how lucky I am to have been chosen by you to be your friend. Your kind thoughts, telephone calls, cards, and letters have made many a day brighter for me."

1955

The class of '55, the College, arid the nation have lost a man whose life stands as an example of that which is best in our society. GLENN WILSON passed away January 30, after a long and distinguished career, having fought many battles, both for his country and personally.

At the College Glenn was captain of the basketball team, member of the track team, member of Psi Upsilon, member of Sphinx, and part of the Air Force ROTC program. He joined the air force following graduation and was sent to Vietnam. He served there for a year and was on his last mission when he was shot down in his F4 over North Vietnam. It was a year before Glenn's wife, Adlyn, received confirmation that Glenn was alive. After five years and seven months of confinement in a North Vietnam prison (two of them in solitary confinement), Glenn returned home in March of 1973. He was returned to flying status, working with students at the Air Force Academy and at other bases.

He retired from the air force in 1981 after 26 years, having received the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross with Oak Leaf Cluster, Air Medal with two silver Oak Leaf Clusters, Meritorious Service Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, Purple Heart with one Oak Leaf Cluster, and Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm.

All of us send our sympathy to Adlyn and to their three children with the memory of a life well lived and a career well served.
