Conrad Grove, Jr. '45 in the Lucky Bag: "To his more intimate friends, "Connie" is known as "Lefty" or "Lacrosse-Stick Grove." Always ready for a party, his exceedingly high spirit more than upheld the morale of the 8th Company. He was a member of the Plebe Lacrosse Team, played a fair game of tennis and possessed much innate but dormant athletic ability. The Detroit Tigers are tops with "Lefty," and it breaks his heart when they wind up in the second division. Happy, carefree, and never in want of friends or companions, he will make a successful officer in his chosen profession."
"Connie" and his classmates were graduated in June 1944; he was lost in March 1945 in an accident involving a hand grenade. He was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marine Corps and in North Carolina.
He was survived by his wife (who later remarried) and his parents.
