CAPER Company F-1

CAPER Company F-1 at Ohio University (Athens, Ohio) was in the list of companies chartered during the 1967-68 school year.  I found Bonnie Smith Cavanaugh when searching for CAPER information on-line in November 2009.  That was what got this effort to find CAPERS from across the country.  We are in contact with several of the CAPER Alumni from Company F-1, but we'd love to find more.  According to on-line yearbooks I've found, their local name was Army Coed Cadets.

 Here is a picture of members of Company F-1 at the 1969 National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio

On the far left side are Patricia (Reuter) Smith and Sue Bradfield.  

On the far right are Marnice (Kinter) Gooch and Susanne (Hundley) Stuechli

 
This picture was sent to me by the P/R Laision for Company F-1 (kneeling), Fred Sheets.  

Fred told me how wonderful he thought each of these CAPERS were and how he learned to respect and value women because of them.  At one of their drill meets, he handed them each a rose as the came off the drill floor.  

What a lucky group of CAPERS!!!
