Alonzo-Alt becomes an Airman

| Air Force
Airman Derrick-Alonzo Alt ... an airman
in the making. |
Derrick Alonzo-Alt, a 2010 graduate of Bonners
Ferry High School, this week earned the right to
the title of Air Force Airman, graduating near
the top of his basic training class at Lackland
Air Force Base, Texas.
A Bonners Ferry contingent left the breaking
spring of Bonners Ferry for the 72-degrees and
sunny temperatures of south Texas to watch him
graduate. Derrick's grandparents, John and Linda
Alt, and Derrick's Dad, Russ Alt, made the
arduous trek to warmer climes and spent five
days with the new airman.
In the 8 1/2 weeks before their arrival, Airman
Alt served as element leader in his flight and
earned the respect of his peers and instructors
alike.
