I'm seeking information on John C. Daly, class of '55, whose godfather was Gen. Jonathan M. Wainright.
The 7/27/01 eulogy by Judge Robert M. Hinrichs of that class had no e-mail so I'm writing you.
I did gardening in high school in the early 60's for Col. John C. & Carol Daly of Kent Place, Alexandria, Va. Mrs. Daly talked about her late son Johnny and said his godfather was Gen. Wainright. Her grandfather was Union cavalry Gen. Alvan C. Gillem who in 1873 led the 1st Cavalry against the Modoc Indians. Camp Gillem in Lava Beds National Monument in northern Calif. is named for him.
I was in Personnel with the 1st Air Cav in Vietnam 1969, 70. For a speech this month for Oregon's 150th anniversary I mentioned the Modoc War and Mrs. Daly's connection. Would anyone in the class of '55 have documentation for Johnny's godfather? Mrs. Daly attended the Episcopal church at the top of Monticello Blvd. in Alexandria.
