Page "Omar Bradley" Paragraph 5

Bradley's first wife, Mary Quayle, grew up across the street from him in Moberly.

The pair attended Central Christian Church and Moberly High School together.

Moberly called Bradley its favorite son and throughout his life Bradley called Moberly his hometown and his favorite city in the world.

He was a frequent visitor to Moberly throughout his career, was a member of the Moberly Rotary Club, played near handicap golf regularly at the local course and had a " Bradley pew " at Central Christian Church.

When a flag project opened in 2009 in the Moberly cemetery, General Bradley and his first son-in-law and West Point graduate, the late Major Henry Shaw Bukema, were memorialized with flags in their honor from grateful citizens.
