Retired
Air Force Major General Bill Dietrich was the president of USBA
when he died on December 18, 1989. He had been our president since
1985, and prior to that, the Executive Director since 1975.
General
Dietrich was a charter member of USBA, going back to its inception
in 1959, and first elected to the Board of Governors in 1972.
It
is the spirit of his friendship and leadership which we choose to
memorialize with this scholarship. He is missed.
