Letters about the Oznot story reminded me again that for decades, my father’s Class of 1917 had news of an exceptionally romantic, adventurous classmate from exotic corners of the globe: Bert Hormone. Are there any other descendants of those unique seniors, who graduated early to train and become soldiers, who remember tales of Bert’s derring-do? He sadly never managed to come to the “war babies” reunions, disappeared a score of years ago, and presumably died with his creator.
