1968 Academy Brochure

Last year that when I founded the KC Chapter of the AOG, I invited my original ALO, Col. John Riffle, to the Founders' Day celebration. John was 95 years old at the time and was the Director for the ALOs in the Kansas-Missouri region when the Academy was first formed. He introduced me to the Academy in 1958 and told me what I needed to do to get there. The rest was history.

John died last November but his widow gave me his copy of the 1968 Academy Brochure that we ALOs use today (in different form, of course) to interestkids into considering it.

I have scanned some of the pages that might be of interest to our class, especially since some have their pictures. I was surprised to find that I was seated at the piano in the Chorale picture that was included. Terry Zubrod was turning pages.

I thought I would share these with the class.

Enjoy.
