I'm sorry to report that our classmate, Bruce MacDonald, died some eleven years ago.
In attempting to straighten out some discrepancies in the Register of Graduates for Bruce MacDonald, Kitty Millard located his son and I spoke with him today. He told me that both Bruce and his wife Elaine were deceased. Bruce died in 2001 and Elaine later. While in the Army Bruce attended medical school and then served in the Medical Corps until retiring as a Colonel in 1983.
The son said his Dad was a very private person and never talked of his military career. The son was very reluctant to pass on any information concerning the family.
I am requesting that the AOG correct the entry for Bruce in the Register of Graduates by removing all information after his retirement in 1983.
