Paula Fisher talks to her father-in-law, retired Col. Bernard Fisher, as he signs prints by artist Dave Meikle after the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps classroom at the University of Utah was dedicated to Fisher Friday. Fisher was in the AFROTC program at the U. when he was commissioned as an officer in the Air Force. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for personal action above and beyond the call of duty by risking his life to save a fellow pilot, who was shot down in Vietnam in 1966.
