IN MEMORIAM: BRIG GENERAL OLAN G. WALDROP, USAF (retirED)
We recently learned of the passing of Brig Gen Olan Waldrop on 17 April 2022 at his home in Fosters, Alabama. Gen Waldrop was a sage and active Trustee of the JAG School Foundation for over 21 years, serving as our President for 5 years and Secretary for 6 years. In addition, Gen Waldrop was a renowned Air Force officer and Judge Advocate, and an extraordinary human being. In this vein, please see the tribute by one of his esteemed colleagues, Colonel (retired) John Martinez, which is posted below.
Gen Waldrop will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, the JAG Corps, and the Foundation. If anyone would like to donate to the Foundation on behalf of Gen Waldrop, donations by check may be sent by mail directly to P.O. Box 4972, Montgomery, AL 36103-4972. Please use “IMO (in memory of) Olan Waldrop” or similar language in the “For” line of the check so that we will know it is a special gift. Thank you.
