For Pete’s Sake!

Pete Hidalgo ‘58

The president and board of directors of the West Point Society of Tallahassee,with respect and lasting friendship, changed the name of our annual scholarship program in January of 2009 to

By this gesture and others, the Long Gray Line endures, as does the memory of our very good friend and comrade.  This scholarship program was truly Pete’s and from inception it was his project. He  believed in it strongly, campaigned for it vigorously, and championed it continually with his quiet determination. The renaming was approved with gratitude by the Hidalgo family.

This scholarship has been awarded annually since 2005, assisting a Marion Military Institute cadet fully qualified for admission to West Point the next academic year. Marion held a very special place in Pete’s heart.  As an MMI  graduate, the institution was fundamental to his development as an officer and gentleman.
