Members of the Southside Atlanta Citadel Club from Fayette and Coweta counties and other locations recently held the the club’s annual muster in Newnan.
The muster honored 213 Citadel graduates who passed away during 2015, according to club representatives.
Among those distinguished graduates remembered at the ceremony was John Ziegler, class of 1932, and Pat Conroy, class of 1967.
Ziegler was the founder of the college’s literary magazine and at age 103 was the oldest living alumnus.
Pat Conroy, class of 1967, is the internationally acclaimed author of “The Lords of Discipline” and “The Prince of Tides,” among others.
The annual muster has been a Citadel tradition since 1998 and is conducted on March 20 each year at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., and at locations all over the world as close to that date as possible.
The Southside Atlanta Citadel Club draws its members mostly from Fayette and Coweta counties.
