| Fred and I grew up only 40 miles apart in Southern Illinois. We first met, however, on the train from New York to USMA the morning of our reporting in. We vowed to see each other as often as possible. During Beast, with Fred in 1st Copmpany and me in 6th Company, getting together was not possible. But, the first weekend in regular companies I posted overbto A-1 to see Fred. The upper classes had a good time with me in the hallway, winding me up, etc.. I escaped by threatening to breathe on their belt buckles. Fred and I then enjoyed a good couple of hours. The next Saturday, Fred came over to M-1 in South Area to see me. It took him the better part of an hour to get from the clock to my lst floor room. His comment: "Our guys play games. Your guys are serious!" |
