Alumni Info Search
  
 We recently received a unique request from David Hine, an Air Force retiree from Greenfield (Hancock County) who has been involved in a project to provide photos of servicemen (Shortridge alumni) from Central Indiana that were killed in Vietnam. Our alumni association does not have that data. Mr. Hine is attempting to find photos and/or other information of Marion County casualties in order to complete a photo collage that will be displayed in The Education Center at The Wall that will be built near the Vietnam Veterans and Lincoln Memorials.
  If any of you can assist with more information for this  project, kindly contact David Hine at mrdavidlhine@att.net. Other resources for information regarding this project are available:
