<b>Bradstreet Parker</b> (1897-1918), Cadet, U.S.N. Aviation Detachment. Died of pneumonia, Sept. 21, 1918. Son of George S. and Grace M. Parker; was born at Salem, Mass., April 13, 1897. He attended the public and private schools of Salem; graduated as president of his class, from the Hackley School, Tarrytown, N.Y., and entered Harvard College, class of 1919, where he remained until the end of his sophomore year, when he left to enter business with his father, in Parker Bros. Inc., of Salem and New York. At college he played football, baseball, and hockey. He attended the Officers' Training Camp at Plattsburg in the summer of 1916, receiving his diploma on Aug 8. On June 18, 1918, he enlisted in the U.S. Naval Aviation Detachment at M.I.T., Cambridge, Mass., attached to Co. 28, which graduated on Oct. 7, 1918. After three months of training, he died of pneumonic-influenza on Sept. 21, 1918, before finishing this course. His record called forth high praise from his Commanding Officer, who wrote to Parker's family regarding his admirable work. Pr. Parker's record here was excellent, both in academic work and in his aptitude for the Service, and there is no doubt that he would have proved a great credit to our school and the Navy at large had his life been spared.
