Death Takes Ex-Duck Star
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) –
Alfred L. Beatie, 56, West Point graduate and one time University of Oregon track star, died late Wednesday in a San Francisco hotel.
On his dresser lay an invitation from Gen. Curtis LeMay, Air Force vice chief of staff, to the 30th reunion of the West Point class of 1929. On the wall was his Army Air Force commission.
Beatie's aerial career ended as a young lieutenant when his training plane crashed near San Antonio, Tex., and broke his ankles and legs.
Death was attributed to an internal hemorrhage, apparently caused by cirrhosis of the liver.
