Colonel Drew Ley Fund
Colonel Andrew “Drew” J. Ley, USMCR (Ret.)
Drew Ley was a retired attorney and Marine officer who flew A-4 Skyhawks until his retirement at the rank of Colonel in 1991. Drew was deeply committed to civic engagement, serving as a Trustee and Life Trustee of the USS Constitution Museum. As a longtime Museum supporter, he was responsible for the annual Lt. William S. Bush Memorial Breakfast, which has grown into an institutional tradition. Drew served as master of ceremonies for this special event and brought us several first-rate speakers. We are profoundly indebted to Drew for all that he has done for the Museum. Drew passed away in October 2020 and he will be greatly missed by his friends and fellow Museum supporters.
About the Colonel Drew Ley Fund
In memory of Drew, the Museum recently established the Colonel Drew Ley Fund to support future Lt. William S. Bush Memorial Breakfasts and Lectures and other Marine Corps activities at the Museum. The fund will become a permanent part of the Museum’s endowment and adhere to its strict spending policy, ensuring its continued existence in perpetuity.
Founding Members are those who gave a gift within the 2021 calendar year to help endow the fund. They will be acknowledged on this webpage and in the Museum’s Annual Report.
