Bruce R. Rauhe, SMA '47, passed away at his home near Sneads, FL, on May 24, 2001, of complications from leukemia. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Wilma, their three children and 8 grandchildren. Bruce attended SMA from 1943 -1947 and graduated a cadet captain and company commander. He received Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in engineering from Lehigh University. After a very distinguished 28-year career in the United States Air Force he retired a command pilot with the rank of Colonel. He was awarded two Legion of Merit medals for meritorious command performances. For aerial combat service in Viet Nam he was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses and four Air Medals. He was also decorated by the South Viet Nam government. Bruce and I spent many wonderful hours during recent years talking about our experiences at SMA. He never failed to praise SMA and attribute much of his later success in the military to his training and education at SMA. Bruce Rauhe exemplified "Truth, Duty and Honor" as well as any person I have ever had the privilege of knowing. He was a credit to his family, his church, his country and the corps.
