Author Kathleen Kornahrens will tell of her experience as a member of the first class to include women at the US Air Force Academy as detailed in her book, "'Bring Me Men…' Brought Women: Marching with the First Female Cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy." Colonel Gail Colvin, USAF (Ret.) will join her to examine the legacy of President Ford’s signature. Book sale, signing and reception to follow.
