MAJ Frederico Ritchie, SFA M. D-1676
 

FM was one of the "originals" . He had over 15 years of Special Forces service, beginning with the 10th SFG in 1952. Other assignments were the 77th, 1st and 5th Special Forces Groups. He also was assigned to the USASWC in 1961. FM was a good friend of mine. His wife Lynelle became a mentor to our wives in Bad Tölz were we met them at the 35 Tölz reunion in 1988. He will be missed.
