ADRIAN, Mich. – Navy Chaplain
Jonathan Frusti is scheduled to speak on Oct. 18 at
12:15 p.m. in the Adrian College Chapel as part of the
Dr. James Borland Convocation speaker series.
Frusti was the first full time chaplain
assigned to serve at Camp David. He was there for three
years, during the first President Bush's presidency
and a short time into President Clinton's tenure. Barbara
Bush mentions Jon several times in her autobiography.
On Sept 11, 2006, Jon was on stage with Vice President
Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield at
the Pentagon's morning prayer service observing the
anniversary of the 9/11 attack. This past weekend, he
participated in the christening of the U.S.S. George
H. W. Bush, the Navy's newest aircraft carrier.
