A LOOK Back: Edmond Veterans
Edmondites Dale Hamilton, Charles Richmond, and Hal Adamson board a transport ship in Hokkaido, Japan en route to the Korean Peninsula in 1951. The three men were members of the Edmond-based 179th Regiment of the 45th Infantry Division.
After the Korean War, Hamilton returned to coaching athletics at Central State College (now UCO). He also served as athletic director there; Hamilton Field House was named in his honor in 1993. Charles Richmond served as a Chaplain in WWII, the Korean War, and as the Division Chaplain of the Oklahoma National Guard for 20 years following Korea. Adamson worked at the Oklahoma State Military Department for 25 years, retiring in 1979.
