I first met Dave as we entered "Sullies" in late summer of 1950. We both qualified to enter West Point in the spring of 1951--Class of 1955. At the end of "Beast Barracks" we were both assigned to F-1 and asked to be assigned as room-mates. We roomed with Dick White for a little over 2 years until Dick resigned because of marriage. At the start of "Firstie" year, Dave was selected for Brigade Staff and moved out. Dave was a born "Hive" and helped many classmates with academic problems. We always traveled back and forth from West Point on the train together from Washington and enjoyed a very close relationship. Because of our different careers, we didn't see much of each other after graduating, but kept in contact. I will miss him. George Kennebeck |
