OTHER CLASSMATES:

When the Class of 1970 graduated, record keeping at the AOG relied primarily on data provided by the Academy which focused on those who actually graduated. "Other Classmates", or "Friends of the Class of 1970", are those classmates who began the journey with us, but, did not graduate for various reasons. Below are those Friends who have completed their journey and are remembered here.
