In Idaho Statesman today:
Nat Adams, a prominent Boise architect and World War II hero, died early this morning following a short illness.
A memorial service tentatively is planned for Friday or Saturday at All Saints Episcopal Church, 704 S. Latah. The church was one of more than 700 buildings Adams and his associates designed.
His projects included Bronco Stadium and the former J.R. Simplot residence, which will be Idaho’s next governor’s mansion.
Adams, 86, was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses as a Navy fighter pilot in WWII.
Among other things, he helped save the life of future president George H.W. Bush.
Adams was featured in Tim Woodward’s Monday column, which family members read to him before he died.
