Alice Astafan is a highly decorated, award-winning Major General, USAF, retired.

After her 38 years military career, she served as an award-winning Chief Executive Officer. In 2023 she wrote her memoir: Lady Leader Leaves Lasting Legacy. But her proudest and most rewarding role, in which she served along with her husband Peter, was rearing their son, Patrick, the subject of this book. Despite the adversities he experienced, he has left a legacy that will live on for generations. aliceastafan.com Two scholarships have been established in honor of Patrick Astafan for the purpose of enabling students to attend college: The Patrick Astafan Memorial Fund Oklahoma Christian University Box 11000, Oklahoma City, OK 73136 The Patrick Astafan Balanced Man Scholarship Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity 310 South Arthur Ashe Blvd/Richmond, VA 2322 For Cal Theta Chapter/California State University Sacramento
