MEMORIAL CEREMONY FOR GRANT BORNZIN, CLASS OF 1963, FRIDAY, 22 SEPTEMBER 2017
US AIR FORCE ACADEMY CEMETERY, USAF ACADEMY COLORADO
Friday, 22 September 2017, was a delightful, late-summer day in Colorado with a bit more gusty wind than was needed. The wind did help with some of the flag pictures. The sky was a great background for many of the pictures.
Group Shots after the Ceremony: Some of you may have notices that in the early group of pictures I emailed right after Grant’s Memorial Service, someone seemed to be lurking behind Ev Vaughn and Lou Matjasko. You can see a dapper hat, some sun glasses and part of a beard. That’s part of why I’ve included all the group shots and labeled some including Vic Thacker. I talked to Vic, and he`d noticed he was barely visible. He said he could see the camera, and in every group shot the camera could see Vic`s sun glasses. So, I wanted to point out the mysterious lurker was our own Vic Thacker.
