Here is a 1943 public affairs release about graduating from Officer Candidate School (initially, he was drafted as an enlisted man in 1942) while at Fort Belvoir.


Next, a 1947 dated article while he returned to college after the war.


A url's link to his obituary.
Randolph Wakefield Chalfant, 85, architect, museum curator - Baltimore Sun

And last, another article about his interests.
Youthful encounters influenced Chalfant's interests - Baltimore Sun

Thank you for the extra info Lance, for some reason the links to Baltimore Sun don't open for me at the moment but I will try again later. I'm very much obliged to you for looking these up.

I took his obit (the worthier of the two articles) and turned it into a downloadable .pdf file. Hopefully, this works.

Best,

V/r Lance

P.S. For an obituary, it is informative and very well written.

Lance,

You have some great research skills...

Could use someone like you as a history specialist at the 1st Armored Division Museum...

I'm swamped with inquiries and filling in as the Director... I wish we had some openings...

Best regards, stay safe

Thank you Lance for sorting the PDF for me, what a character Randolph Chalfant was. I'm pleased to have a tiny part of his life on my bookshelf. Happy collecting. Stay safe.
