Frank Hartline
General "Rip" Rider, had an exemplary career in the US Air Force, including unrelenting support for the Iranian people to live free. In Tucson, "Rip" served as President of the West Point Society of Southern Arizona. His wisdom and good humor were indispensable in leading this organization, supporting graduates and spouses in our area and in helping many talented young people gain nominations to the US Military Academy. He was an inspiration to all members of the Long Gray Line and has certainly lived the West Point motto "Duty, Honor, Country" - well done Rip, be thou at peace.
