J. L. Forinash, Jr. R. Y. Foerster ROBERT YATES FOERSTER " Boob " If you should chance to come across a tall, lanky civilian dressed in a somewhat off-colored blue suit, you have probably encountered the in- famous Robert Yates Foerster. Having come to USAFA with a civilian-oriented outlook acquired at Michigan State, " Boob " overcame this handicap and managed to attain both the Dean ' s and Superinten- dent ' s List for several semesters. Bob had an interest in the world of nature as he was an active member in both the SCUBA Club and Ski Club. Perhaps Bob ' s greatest feats were those accomplished on the weekends. ' Twas a sad Saturday night that found Bob gracing the campus of USAFA. Besides touring all of Colorado he made several trips to Washington with the Honor Guard. Regardless of what career field Bob decides upon in the Air Force, be it flying or graduate school, he will be a benefit to his country. JOSEPH LYNN FORINASH, JR. " Fornie " Joe, a native of Wichita, Kansas, has given more than his share to the Academy during his four- year stay, and has received a great deal in return. His talents and maturity, recognized by his place- ment on the Commandant ' s List, have served him well, whether as the commander of the Twentieth Squadron, a member of Group Staff, or as a hard working member of the Class Ring Committee. Joe ' s interests run in the field of Management, his major and the career that he plans on following in the Air Force, where his talent should be well appreciated. Under any circumstances, he will prove to be a real credit to the Air Force Academy. WILLIAM BOYD FORTNEY " Biir Hailing from the " non-coal " region of Pennsyl- vania, Bill attended Lehigh University a year before coming to the Academy. Bill spends most of his time searching for newspapers and philosophizing on various aspects of Academy life. He hopes to get his revenge on Aspen Mountain some day. After gradu- ation, he plans to go to pilot training and then to MATS or support. ROY ARNOLD FRICKE " Aggie " Roy received his underling education in the booming metropolis of Hicksville, New York. A seven-month Army hitch and a year at Texas A M inculcated Roy with his intrinsic military virtures so prominently displayed these past four years in such things as the tightest AMI bed going. In ath- letics, 125-lb. Roy was knocked nearly unconscious by a 205-lb. footballer in the ' 61 Wing soccer cham- pionship. Roy has had a bit of an advantage due to the experience gained in his 23 years, but this has been somewhat offset by the time available to lose hair - Roy is aging fast! Roy ' s rig is a ' 65 Impala convertible. Following graduation he plans a ca reer in the security service. 80
