"I hope this note finds you all well. My brother Chris and I wanted to share some sad news with you: our father, Michael [A.] Clarke, passed away on Tuesday. He had been battling a number of chronic conditions and then took a bad fall on 12/24 from which he couldn't recover. He died at 86 on January 14, which is 13 years, to the day, that our mom passed away. There's some beautiful symmetry there, I think.

"We are planning a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery where he and our mom will be interred together. The timeline is 12+ months, but we will let you all know when we have a firm date if case anyone is able to attend.

When more information becomes available, it will be posted here.

This from AOG Director of Heritage Michele Bergeman:

"I need your help! I’m reaching out as we are looking for pictures from each graduating class, without using yearbook photographs. Please share the flyer amongst your classmates as you never know who has a photo collection!

"If you could have them sent to me by 17 January 2025.

"Thank you in advance and have a wonderful Holiday season!

Jim GLAZA adds, "This will be for the graduate exhibits in the new visitors' center. I will be sending you a preview briefing of what the center will look like as soon as I get answers a couple more questions in that regard. Michelle says she would prefer a digital format if available, the more the better."
