1962 EWU ROTC Graduate Returns to Campus

I had the great privilege this weekend of meeting Mr. Bruce Peters who was a 1962 graduate of the EWU ROTC program.

He was accompanied by his lovely wife Irene to the October 6th home football game.  Mr. Peters graduated with a degree in business and was commissioned into the US Army Reserve as a Second Lieutenant.  He would later go on to serve in Vietnam and retire as a lieutenant colonel.  In his civilian career he established a business that led to a lucrative career in sales of fine china, silver and crystal.  Mr. Peters is another example of EWU ROTC alumni that have gone to accomplish great things in life.  He is currently retired and a great supporter of the Eastern Washington University ROTC program and the Veterans Resource Center.

He picked a good game to return to campus since he got to see the EWU ROTC Cannon Crew fire the cannon after 7 home team touchdowns in a 55-17 rout of Southern Utah University.

Go Fighting Eagles!
