Treasurer 4 ASSOCIATION OF GRADUATES UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY COLORADO 80840 January 1967 TO EACH GRADUATE: This year's Register of Graduates represents a new departure, in that this is our first venture into the business of creating a historical record of the Air Force Academy Graduates and their accomplishments. This printing represents the accumulation, sorting and publishing of some seven years of history of the graduates--all 2,933 of us. The true signifance of such a mass biographical record is yet to be seen. No one single entry makes the Register worthwhile; yet the accumulation of all the entries represents a significant public record of service on the part of the graduates. Surely in years to come the Register will contain Chiefs of Staff, Medal of Honor winners, and those who have indeed written national history. With that thought in mind - that it is for us to record as well as make such history - the present project was undertaken. Already it contains much Air Force and Academy history. Number 600105 lists the first Air Force Academy graduate to die in combat against an enemy of the United States; and many others did and will follow. Written into many entries are long hours of faithful service, and between the lines of quite a few are the acts of individuals -- heroic deeds -- which have already resulted in an enviable record for others to follow. To all who have assisted in the publishing of this Register, our thanks. To all of you who continue to set the pace - well done. To our deceased who have given as much as any can, and more than most of us ever will - Godspeed. Sincerely, RICHARD T. MATHEWS President Association of Graduates 5 BIOGRAPHICAL DATA and ABBREVIATIONS This is the first attempt to provide biographical career summaries for graduates E.

    TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY Texas Tech is a state-supported, multipurpose university of over 23,000 students enrolled in six colleges-Agricultural Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Engineering, and Home Economics- and two schools-the Graduate School and the School of Law. The_Texas Tech Health Sciences Center-a separate institution- and the Museum share the Lubbock campus with the University. As is necessary for an educational institution of its scope and purposes, Texas Tech operates in several locations. Beyond its 1,839-acre Lubbock campus- all in one tract-the University operates a 13,822-acre agricultural and biological laboratory through the Texas Tech University Center at Amarillo. Under development are other agricultural research and teaching facilities in Lubbock County and in Terry County. As a part of its medical role, the Health Sciences Center has in various stages of development three Regional academic Health Centers: in Amarillo, in El Paso, and in Odessa-Midland. The Texas Tech University Center at Junction, in the Texas hill country, is a 411-acre unit consisting of classroom and lodging facilities. Paul Whitfield Horn, the first president of Texas Tech, drew from the broad open plains of West Texas his vision for the institution. "Let us make the work of our college fit into the scope of our country," he said. "Let our thoughts be big thoughts and broad thoughts. Let our thinking be in world-wide-terms." Horn's challenge to Texas Tech, now embarked on its second fifty years, continues as a viable force. His insight is most evident as we-faculty and students, administrators and alumni, supporters and friends- strive to shape the University's programs and activities to meet the highest standards of excellence in teaching, research, and public service.

  • National Security Experts Warn of the Dangers of an Iranian EMP Attack
    National security experts warn of the dangers of an Iranian EMP attack Christopher Collins November 20, 2013 Amidst the Obama administration’s ongoing efforts on Tuesday to negotiate only a partial reduction in Iran’s uranium enrichment in exchange for the easing of sanctions, a panel of noted national security experts is warning of the dangers of an Iranian electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. In statements sent to the Paulding County Republican Examiner, the panel gathered on Tuesday and discussed the danger of that country’s escalating nuclear program and the risk that such capabilities could result in an electromagnetic pulse attack on the United States, Israel, or other allied nations. The panel of national security experts was sponsored by EMPACTAmerica and moderated by Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., President and CEO of the Center for Security Policy and former Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy. Gaffney, in his own remarks, discussed the nature of a nuclear-detonated EMP attack, the effect of which would be to take down the electrical grid indefinitely and the potential for an Iranian EMP attack in light of that regime’s determination to develop nuclear weapons and frequently stated intent to bring about “a world without America”. Ambassador John Bolton, former United States Representative to the United Nations, and Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, USAF (Ret.), former Assistant Vice Chief of Staff, United States Air Force, discussed the dangers, from both a foreign policy and defense perspective of lifting sanctions or of otherwise negotiating with Tehran on its nuclear weapons program. Furthermore, Bolton noted that President Obama’s troubling decision effectively to “chase down” Iranian president Rouhani in order to negotiate a deal would have ramifications for American credibility in the Middle East.
