THOMAS W. WHARTON
Mr. Wharton is a SAF/IA, AFMC Certified, Foreign Disclosure Officer, he technically directs the actions to develop, interpret, and implement policies while providing procedural guidance as well as directing exercise staff surveillance in the Foreign Disclosure Policy Office. His office develops, implements the program directives and provides logistic/technical guidance while initiating investigations of suspected violations of the National Disclosure Policy of the United States. This position has a critical bearing upon USAF relations with forty-four (44) foreign governments. Decisions and actions taken by the Foreign Disclosure Office could result in serious security or diplomatic compromise involving the Commander of the ALC, AFMC or USAF. Mr. Wharton possesses an extensive Aircraft Maintenance, Financial Management, Supply Chain Management, Engineering, and Procurement background. These talents, coupled with technical knowledge of equipment and Tactical Fighter Weapons Systems Technical Orders, make Tom a true Air Force asset.

Unknown Bayside Graduate
Class of 1952
Marine Corps, 2 Years
I have a class ring from 1952 Bayside High School. The initials are M C D. He graduated, joined Marine Corps, went to Korea, got knocked off. My Dad never could find his family, when Dad died I got the ring. I want to try and find any descendants, or siblings even. It is even possible that his parents are still alive. Anybody got any ideas?
