Gilbert Stewart Harper

West Point, 1946

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Richard E Keefer on December 2, 2020:

I knew Stewart in Vietnam. I was an in country hire when he was in charge of the CSC operation in Vietnam. I greatly appreciated him as a manager and for his wisdom and personal and professional mentoring. I know that he was an honest and descent man who had to deal with corrupt and dishonest people at USAID and CORDS.
I heard that he was promoted to Brigadier General in the Air Force Reserve. I was especially glad to hear that because I knew how much archiving that rank meant to him. I was so sorry to hear that he had died so soon afterward.

I am honored to have know him not just as a project leader but also as a friend and mentor.
