Gregory attended A&M when it was called Texas A&M College and all students were members of the Corps of Cadets. Reveille I was the mascot at the time and the yearbook was called the Long horn, not the Aggieland. Following graduation, Gregory completed pilot training at Ran dolph Field and flight training at Kelly Field and was then assigned as a pursuit pilot in Hawaii. Gregory flew B-17s as a combat pilot in the Pacific theatre during the early part of World War II. In June 1942, Gregory was a pi lot in the battle of Midway that bombed and sank a Japanese air craft carrier. He flew 57 combat hours in four days during the battle. In the latter part of World War II, he flew B-24s in Italy. Gregory’s daughter, Carolyn Sonleitner, said even though he had been a decorated and cele brated hero of war, he did not have a positive view of war. “He thought that no matter what the outcome was, war is still horrible,” she said. Sonleitner said her father was modest about his achievements in battle and did not speak about his experiences often. His assignments during his ac tive career include Headtjuarters, Strategic Air Command; Head quarters, U.S. Air Force and as chief of the U.S. Air Force Mission in El Salvador. He also served as deputy chief of staff for personnel for the Air Force Cambridge Re search Center in Boston, Mass. His decorations include the Sil ver Star, the Air Meda Commendation Medal.

All Right scoot, IV£ Got All Tire CHRibr/r,**, Lights :aj the DoZm Hooked uP, Correction Yesterday’s article “A&M de nies licenses to retailers selling memorial T-shirts” incorrectly said that Collegiate Licensing “forced" Inspirations’ to remove its “Muster” T-shirts from its shelves. It should have read “Bon fire” instead of “Muster” T-shirts. A spokesperson for Inspirations said Inspirations was not “forced" to remove the shirts but was asked by Collegiate Licensing to remove the “Bonfire’’shirts because Inspira tions had violated a licensing agreement by altering the design without University approval by adding a ribbon to the sleeve . The spokesperson also said it was the owner’s decision to do nate the remaining T-shirts and profits to the Texas A&M Tradi tions Council. i?10f T W tuder arrie Jacc ized one on 15 we lied studies.
