Irving Butler Reed

West Point, 1951

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jack Martin on February 15, 2016:

As a fellow member of E-1 and the football team, we became very good friends. This was kept alive at a few reunions, annual Christmas greetings, and a surprise meeting on Waikiki Beach during one of his and Carolyn's usual winter sojourns at the Hale Kola.

A noteworthy remembrance: company wrestling class. If you were the "down" man, he would press the one nub into the top of your hand to distract you -- then attack.

He was a solid citizen, both during and after his military career. A good man!
