Colonel Edmund DeTreville Ellis (March 1890 - 1995) was a member of the U.S. Military Academy Class of 1915 (the class the stars fell on) which included Henry Aurand, Omar Bradley, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John W. Leonard, Henry Sayler, James Van Fleet, and a number of other famous generals. Ellis served as class secretary for many years and compiled periodic news letters which contained information about the members of the class and their families and were distributed to surviving classmates and spouses. The newsletter was discontinued after 1982 due to the decline in the number of classmates.
