Joseph Powel Franklin

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Paul Parks on March 15, 2017:

After a tour or two and graduate school, a large number of our class
returned to West Point filling staff and faculty positions. In our midst
were Connie and Joe. They graciously hosted class parties where Joe
would lead us in song. Skiing, ski parties and Bob Knight basketball
were part of life. We were young and beautiful and life was very, very
good. Thanks for the memories, dear friend. Well done! Be thou at peace!
