John Scott Hardy

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jim Barker on January 6, 2005:

I first met and got to know Scott - as we called him then - at Maxwell AFB in 1949 when my dad was assigned there. We were star (?) players on the world famous (!!)Maxwell Boys Club basketball team. We probably had a perfect record, namely 0 wins. But we all had fun.

All the Maxwell teenagers got together at the Teen Town on base two or three times a week for dances, parties, horsing around, etc., "hanging out", as the kids now-a-days call it. Scott was always a fixture at those happenings.
Appropriately enough the Teen Town building used to be the psycho ward of the hospital with part of the building having very small rooms with bars on the windows. Maxwell has since torn the buidling and there is now the Credit Union in its place.

"Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon him."
