Class of 1941
Navy, 20+ Years
When I was a freshman at Allegheny College, Meadville, PA....WWII broke out. During my sophomore year at Allegheny I joined the Army (1943-1945). After my Army hitch, I took two years off and completed my college degree at Allegheny. I then rejoined the military, this time...the Navy as an aviator since I had served as an Army aviator. For the next 24 years I flew aircraft, B 24, B29 and C130's. I retired in 1968 as a Lt. Cmdr. in Hawaii. I then flew for a commercial airline for the next 20 or so years and I am now retired and living in Dania Beach, FL.
