This is my father, born Desailles Allen Glover and later legally changed his name to Allen Desailles Glover. He reenlisted in the Air Force when he turned 18 and served 22 years. He passed away January 24, 1998 and was buried near where he and my mother retired at Barrancas at Pensacola Naval Base.

Hello this is my Father and so exciting to see these pictures that I have never seen before. Unfortunately Dad passed away in 1998 at the age of 70. You probably had a hard time finding information because it is spelled DeSailles and he legally changed his name to Allen DeSailles Glover. Would love to exchange information. llynch@twcny.rr.com

Comment on Recalling Landmark Visits to Widener-PMC by Walter Greene III

Arthur M Schlesinger Jr spoke at PMC in the spring of 1966, perhaps in March. He spoke personally afterward to a very small group of interested cadets. Having recently left the the highest circles of the U.S. government, it was amazing to realize that he did not support the recently announced expansion of military effort in Viet Nam.

Comment on Letters to The Editor by Fred Seamon

I attended Pennsylvania Military Prep in 1954-54. My Spanish teacher, Jean Martel, changed my life. He convinced me that I was a good linguist, and consequently, I ended up studying 4 languages while pursuing a fascinating career as an army intelligence officer in Europe and Vietnam during the Cold War.

Martel was a Belgian who spoke several languages, smoked Gaulois cigarettes and could have stepped out of a Humphrey Bogart WWII espionage thriller. I would like to know what happened to him after PMPS closed in 1956 and would like to be put in contact with his descendants to tell them what a positive influence he had on me.

Comment on A New Name for Widener’s Newest Building by David Fiedler

It will be interesting to see if the military ranks of the founders are included with any material about them at the dedication or if Widener will again downplay its military connections to the past!!
