Lindsey Gerheim

In April 1976 Jim Ellis -- Class of 1962 Brigade Commander, who was to ultimately wear 3 Stars asked General Omar Bradley what his reaction was to women joining the Corps of Cadets.

General Bradley said "Congress passed it, the President signed it, I support it".

Plebe designated hitter Lindsey Gerheim won Patroit League "Rookie of the Week" Honors after blasting two home runs, scoring 6 times, plating seven RBI's ,stealing four bases, while posting a .435 batting average for the week.

As a Member of the "Class the Stars Fell On" and as an Army A winner in Football and Baseball, The Can Do Class believes General Bradley would be very proud of what this Cadet Athlete accomplished. See her accomplishments at
