Terence Andrew Powers

West Point, 1949

Be Thou At Peace

My Daddy of the Class of 1949.
Terence Andrew Powers
It is nice to add a note in his memory.
The Old Gray Line has a meaning and provides a sense of permanence.

Of the 574 grads of '49 well over 500 are no longer with us, my father outlasted many, passing away in late 2019.

He lived a long and happy life and always had a smile and a kind heart.
His first wife and my mother Jeannette Rouse passed away a few years after they retired to Savannah, GA.
He remarried and had a long time together with Carolyn Walston, who is still living.

A soldier at heart, Duty, Honor, Country did not need to be spoken, he embodied those words.
Sorely missed, part of a generation the likes of which we won't see again.
