John Louis Carr

West Point, 1949

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Gordon. E. Hogg on December 27, 2016:

Dear Carr family,

I am saddened to learn of Col. Carr's passing. As his daughter Adrienne's brother-in-law, I long felt (through my father's USNA and Navy career experience) a kinship with the life of a similar military family. We only met a couple of times, once to watch the Army-Navy game on TV at the Blacksburg house, so I hope that (finally!) the Army victory over Navy on 10 December after such a long campaign of disappointment gave the good colonel some well-deserved satisfaction.
Peace to you and your family; you are all in my thoughts.

Faithfully,
Gordon
