Obituaries
********

As you remember, this space is normally used to record obituaries. However I am making an exception for this Veterans Day. This photo came in email on this past Friday from Nancy McNary and I thought she and Bill would not mind if I put it here in his honor. She did say in the email that she wanted to share it with "y'all".

 

 

When the information is available, we will add the obituary of our deceased members to this bulletin board. After one month, the obituary will be moved to the personal page where photos and bio's are kept.

If you have an obituary you want to add, you may send it to my snail mail address:

      Milton Birmingham

      Fort Worth, TX 76132 		   OR Click HERE to forward by attachment to email.


I am using hearing aids (VOLT) from MDHearing.com. Over several years I have used three other brands and the VOLT at ($300 per pair) are the best I have ever used. They are as good as a $6000 pair offered me when my hearing was first tested.

You may not be interested in these if you get yours from the VA. But my father-in-law got his from the VA and it was a hassle to get them repaired and in my opinion, they were not as good as these.

In case you want to check them out click here. And if you decide to buy, send me email and I can get you a good discount. - Milt

On April 2, 1961, a group of young men came together at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas for the purpose of attending Officer Candidate School. This group of approximately 156 men would undergo intense training over the next six months. This training would consist of academic, physical and military disciplines. There would be 825 academic hours and 726 nonacademic hours. It has been estimated that the academic portion of this six-month training is equivalent to two years of Junior College. At the end of the day on Sept. 22, 1961, only 114 would have survived the test and graduate to receive commissions as Second Lieutenants in the United States Air Force. These 114 Second Lieutenants would be forever known as OCS Class 62A.

These Web Pages are dedicated to those 114 graduates of Officer Candidate School, Class 62A. These men would be dispersed throughout the United States Air Force all over the world. They would proudly serve and lead many and varied Air Force Units. The members of 62A were among some of the most dedicated, qualified and highly motivated officers to serve their country.

This six months' training in 1961 not only produced a very high quality Air Force Officer, but also instilled camaraderie among this group of men that would last a lifetime. This is evidenced by the comments of the individuals included in these pages after more than 41 years have passed.

The purpose of this Web Site is to collect and preserve all information, both oral and written that pertains to the members of the United States Air Force, Officer Candidate School, Class 62A. Although the focus is on Class 62A, participation of other OCS Classes is welcomed.

It is hoped that these pages will reflect the dedication and spirit of a very small group of elite men who with distinction, and personal sacrifice, served their country, in peace and war, to the utmost in military standards and traditions. We trust that when future generations read these pages they will be able to relate that because of men and women like those in 62A, we enjoy the most "FREEDOM" on earth.
