CTWG: Lt Col Robert L. Horner

To All CTWG Officers

It is with deep regret that I announce the death of Lt Col Robert L. Horner. He passed away this morning at the age of 86.

A graduate of Norwich University, he flew B24s and B29s in the Army Air Force during World War II. He joined CAP in April 1948, and served in many command and staff positions. Prior to his retirement, he was the Connecticut Wing Historian - fittingly, since he was on hand to witness most of our history, and to make some of it himself.

For many years, Lt Col Horner had the distinction of being our wing's longest-serving member. He was also a lifetime member of the New England Air Museum.
