The Nation - News from July 16, 1985
Air Force Secretary Verne Orr will resign and return this fall to his hometown of Pasadena, the Pasadena Star-News reported in today’s editions. Orr told the newspaper that he is retiring because his wife, Joan, broke her hip two years ago in Washington and has been advised against spending another winter in an icy climate. Orr, 68, a successful businessman before becoming Air Force secretary, said he would like to remain active in local civic affairs but has no immediate plans to enter private business.
