High Flying Eagle

Otha Thornton was on the ROTC staff at Michigan Tech from 1999 to 2000 and was the Copper Country Day Camp chair for two summers. He was an Eagle Scout and his son was in Cub Scouts at the time. He went on to a tour in Germany and then to Fort Belvoir. His current assignment is as Presidential Communications officer meaning he coordinated appearences by the president. His next assignment is in Iraq helping coordinate the withdrawal.
He is the commencement speaker at Tech this weekend. We invited him to the Round Table Thursday and he spoke with the Scouts and leaders. Here he greets Zach.
