Donna Bliss says some of her earliest memories were with her father at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. I was 3, 4 and 5 when he was stationed there, she said. That s how he met my mom. She was from New York City. They met by chance at West Point and were married three years later.
Bliss wants to honor her father, retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Charles F. (Fred) Bliss III, for his 90th birthday. She scheduled a drive-by celebration for 2 p.m. Tuesday by Eastgate Village Healthcare Center. Vehicles are to gather at 1:45 p.m. Tuesday at Muskogee Seventh-day Adventist church parking lot.
