'You've found me!' Mystery woman in Donald Trump's military academy photo is finally identified as a secretary who worked at the school By Dailymail.com Reporters Woman in the photograph has been revealed to be Frances D'Agati who was just 19-years-old at the time Now 71, she former New York Military Academy secretary still lives nearby Only close friends and family knew about the photograph which was taken on the spur of the moment as part of a photo shoot    While at the academy Trump got a high draft number but was deferred four times as he studied at Fordham College and Wharton School of Business He was a standout athlete at the academy where he was scouted for the Red Sox and West Point Two years later he was diagnosed with a 'bone spur' and eventually declared unfit for service   In the 'Popularity Poll' section of Donald Trump's New York Military Academy yearbook the Republican billionaire is famously pictured alongside an anonymous 19-year-old brunette.   Anonymous, at least, until now.   The New York Daily News has revealed that the woman is Frances D'Agati who was working as a secretary at the school during Trump's tenure.     Mystery has long surrounded the identity of the woman Trump posed with in his 1964 yearbook photograph. It has been revealed to be 19-year-old Frances D'Agati       Now aged 71, Frances D'Agati Dunn still lives near the military academy. Only a select few friends and family members ever knew that it was she who was standing next to Trump in 1964     As well as appearing in uniform and being praised for his athleticism, Trump was voted 'ladies man' in the military academy's yearbook   Mrs Frances D'Agati Dunn, now 71 years old, still lives close to the academy and was happy to have been found.   'Oh, gosh,' she said, to the Daily News reporter upon opening the front door. 'Do I have to admit to it?'   Mrs. Dunn appeared to be surprised that anyone would bother to track her down as nobody had come looking for her in the past.    Quite the athlete: Trump (center) was a talented athlete in a series of sports - including basketball (above)     Team player: Trump (front row, second from left) on the New York Military Academy soccer team.  Major Theodore Dobias, Trump's baseball coach at the NYMA, told Daily Mail Online: 'He was quite the athlete.'   However she had a feeling that the day might come after the 52-year-old photograph began circulating once again.   She explained to the Daily News how editors working on the yearbook called her out from behind her desk in the admissions office to pose for a photo with Trump.   'They just came into my office and they asked, would I mind having my picture taken with Donald Trump? I said, 'Sure, why not?'   Virtually nothing was said during the brief encounter which saw the pair standing next to one another.   A few years later, she met Trump once again as waited in line to meet the now billionaire businessman.   'I went up to him. I said, 'I'm the girl in the picture.' He said, 'Well, you were beautiful then, and you're even more beautiful now.' Trump then pulled out his pen and autographed the page.     Trump was inducted into the NYMA's Hall of Fame because his sports achievements were considered so impressive. He is pictured in the middle   Despite living in a complete obscurity, Mrs Dunn's family and some of her friends have known about the 'Ladies Man' photo for years.  'Some people don't believe it,' she explained to the Daily News. 'They don't think it's me.'   The Republican presidential front runner was 'quite the athlete' at New York Military Academy where he was on the Varsity baseball, soccer and football teams, his former coach told Daily Mail Online.   Known as 'D.T.' to his schoolmates, Trump won three varsity letters and a clutch of honors in what seemed to be the perfect foundation for a career in the military.   Instead he followed his father into his real estate business and became a billionaire - after getting four student deferments from the Vietnam War.     Donald Trump in the front, in the middle at NYMA. Trump won the Proficient Cadet award for two years running and Honor Cadet for four years running THE DONALD V THE DRAFT  July 1964: Gets 2-S student deferment from the Vietnam War as he is a student at Fordham College in The Bronx, New York   December 1965: Second student deferment whilst at Fordham November 1966: Reclassified as 1-A and becomes eligible for enlistment but medical examination disqualifies him December 1966: One month later he gets third student deferment as he is now at the Wharton School at UPenn. January 1968: Fourth student deferment July 1968: Reclassified as 1-A which means he becomes eligible for recruitment but second medical disqualifies him.  October 1968: Reclassified as 1-Y, which is for those obliged to do military service 'only in time of national emergency'.  December 1969: Trump's number is drawn in the Vietnam draft lottery. February 1972: Status changed to 4-F or disqualified from military service This included a medical examination in 1966 which disqualified him despite having been such a good baseball player two years before that he was scouted by the Boston Red Sox. Trump's own service in Vietnam has come under the spotlight after he criticized Senator John McCain for being captured while fighting even though he won a Purple Heart, a Silver Star and the Distinguished Flying Cross Trump said that McCain was no hero because he had crashed his Skyhawk bomber in 1967 which led to him being held as a prisoner of war for five years and repeatedly tortured. Documents obtained by The Smoking Gun have shown that Trump got four student deferments between 1964 and 1968 when he was at Fordham College and the Wharton School of Business.   Selective Service records show that Trump became eligible to serve in November 1966 but the medical examination rated him as 'DISQ'.   Doctors reached the same conclusion two years later when he briefly came up for possible enlistment again.   But Trump's record at NYMA suggests that he had no problems playing a wide variety of sports which he was so good at he was inducted into its Hall of Fame.     Trump, pictured in the middle, marches during his time at NYMA     He was sent to the NYMA, based in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, in 1959 at the age of 13 and stayed until he was 18. Trump is seen in the back row, in the middle   He was sent to the NYMA, based in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, in 1959 at the age of 13 and stayed until he was 18.   Trump was a rebellious youth and his father hoped that the strict rules would channel his energy. The plan worked.   According to the 1964 Yearbook, which lists his home as Jamaica in Queens, New York, Trump rose from the rank of private in his first year to captain in his final year, when he was also a senior member of the staff of the sports team.   Trump won the Proficient Cadet award for two years running and Honor Cadet for four years running too.   For two years in a row he also won the Neatness and Order medal.   He played softball, was on the bowling team and was won varsity letters for baseball, football and soccer.   In 2005 Trump was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame because his sports achievements were considered so impressive.     Lauded: While he was at the New York Military Academy Trump (left) was scouted for two baseball teams and West Point. But he went first to Fordham College, then Wharton, and never served in Vietnam     According to the 1964 Yearbook, which lists his home as Jamaica in Queens, New York, Trump rose from the rank of private in his first year to captain in his final year, when he was also a senior member of the staff of the sports team.

The symptoms include reduced mobility, swelling or hard lumps under the skin. Bone spurs can also cause tingling in the hands and feet, muscle weakness and muscle spasms.   They are usually discovered by an X-ray and treatment involves over the counter painkillers such as Tylenol or Advil.   The Mayo Clinic says that bone spurs that limit your range of motion or press on nerves may require surgical removal.   According to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, the condition is common in those over 60, though it may also be hereditary.   Rest, physical therapy and cortisone shots alleviate the symptoms.   In his year book, he missed out on the awards for 'most likely to succeed' and 'most fun', which went to other students.   Other pictures in the yearbook show Trump standing in full baseball uniform with his mitt in his hand and posing with the soccer team.   Major Theodore Dobias, Trump's baseball coach at the NYMA, told Daily Mail Online: 'He was quite the athlete.   'He was the first baseman on the baseball team. He did well enough that he was scouted by the Boston Red Sox, a coach at West Point and the Philadelphia Phillies.   'He became cadet captain because he got along with everybody.   'He and I got on pretty good. He never got into any trouble. He kept his uniform clean at all times'.   Asked whether or not he thought Trump was fit to serve in the military, Major Dobias said: 'I can't speak to that.'   Trump's comments about McCain sparked a firestorm of criticism even from Republican Presidential candidates.   Biographers have touched in the subject and in 'Donald Trump: Master Apprentice', author Gwenda Blair notes dryly that he avoided the draft 'despite his athletic prowess'.
