Colonel Slaughter was a great patriot and wonderful role model for the AFROTC cadets at LSU who got to know him through the local chapter of the Air Force Association. He will be sorely missed by those who knew, loved and admired him.

Gilbert and Mansel were faithful SAEs to the end; we "younger" generations are infinitely indebted to the brothers,and their father who was a founder of the LSU Chapter in 1897. Phi Alpha, R.I.P.
