Aggie1944:


Were you class of '44? My grandfather was class of '44, Jack Talley DeForrest. He died when I was 5 though, and I never got to talk to him about the corps or A&M even though I went on to go there and was in the corps as well.

quote:
Don't know if you realize, but the skinny little LT in the last few pictures posted by MattGigem is some guy who later starred in a movie about a juvenile delinquent who turned over a new leaf and made a success of his life by joining the Corps at A&M. I suspect the photos are from when the LT was made an honorary Cadet Colonel of the Corps. Too bad you can't see the top left ribbon on his uniform. Looks something like this:

Just to make sure things are accurate, Audie Murphy did not attend Texas A&M. He never attended college. During special and unprecedented ceremonies at Texas A&M University on Feb. 12, 1949, Murphy became the first honorary cadet Colonel in the history of the institution, thus making him an honorary Aggie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audie_Murphy

I don't remember that name off hand. Might recognize a photo though.

I was company "F" engineers and stayed in Walton.

Cool pics.. I was able to see the buildings (south end) where I stayed while I was at A&M in the late 70's. Those were married student apartments back then.

My grandfather was L. Edward "Ed" Hill Class of '51 from Houston. He also died when I was really little, no chance to ever get to know him or talk to him about Aggieland in the old days. Some of his buddies are still around from those days - Dick Morris of Midland, TX and Bobby Joe "Bob" Boswell of Gorman, TX - and we dove hunt with them still. Anyone know these guys? REAL Old Army.
