Bud Ossey Gets 75-year Pin, Scholarship Named in His Honor: ‘God, That’s Out of this World’

I was on a short list of friends and family invited to attend a recent reception for Bud Ossey at his home at Bonaventure of Tigard as the Centenarian received yet another award.

The Society of American Military Engineers presented the No. 1 fan of Oregon State athletics with a 75-year pin as one of the organization’s “distinguished Fellows.”

Buddy Barnes, a retired lieutenant colonel with the U.S. Army, a professional engineer and the 100th president of SAME in 2019, was on hand to present the award to Ossey.
