Donald James Roberts

West Point, 1958

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Sterling Wayne Wyatt on October 5, 2005:

Well, Jim, I remember that we have the same birthday - just a year apart, thus making you my "senior', and we have joked about that a time or two (I always said you looked younger and less experienced in the art of exploring downtown Newburgh. Your infectious grin was always a happy sight - and attached to a happy person to be around ever since our days together at Woo Poo Prep. Which reminds me, I have always suspected you were part of the crew that parked my Crosley between that electric power pole and a tree, but you always just grinned and denied it! And since you went into A-2 and I got into B-2, we bumped into each other often during our USMA time. It was a bit of a disappointment that we didn't have an opportunity to serve together during our careers, but I'll catch up with you sooner or later.
