Max; Great to be with you and Carol for a few days. If you will forward this to the 55th Group it would be appreciated.
The Air Force Officer Training School (OTS), located at Maxwell AFB, AL is proud to announce that they are dedicating one their main auditoriums to honor the lifelong contributions of Lt Col (ret) Robb L. Hoover to the the Air Force family. The auditorium, now known as "OTS Small" will be renamed " Hoover Hall". We will also be recognizing four Cold War Heros of Stretigic Reconnaissance who exemplify the qualities that we want to instill in our young officers (Lt Gen C Norman Wood, Brig Gen Lawrence Mitchell, Brig Gen Regis Urschler and Lt Col Harrison Tull). There will be a display area in Hoover Hall recognizing these men and containing memorabilia of the Cold War Strategic Regonnaissance effort. Anyone that has such memorabilia that they will share or donate, would be much appreciated. The dedication ceremony is set for May 17 and coincides with the graduation festivities of the week of May 16 - 18. The schedule of events is as follows:
16 May @ 1730hrs Dining Out
17 May @ 0900hrs Hoover Hall Dedication
17 May @ 1000hrs Interviews/talks with OTS students
17 May @ 1800hrs Dinner with Staff
18 May @ 1000hrs OTS Graduation Parade (EC-135 flyby has been requested).
Anyone who wants to attend is more than welcome to help honor these five veterans. There will be a display about Lt Col Hoover's career as well as the role of strategic reconnaissance during the Cold War. Long term plans include dedicating the entire foyer outside Hoover Hall to Cold War Heros. All individual honorees will be graduates of OTS, OCS, or Aviation Cadets, considered the heritage of OTS.
Anyone interested in attending any or all of the festivites or donating any memorabilia pleae contact Capt Dale Kolomaznik (334-953-0318).
