Robert Winthrop Newton

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Daniel Dugan on August 30, 2012:

Bob Newton - Army Aviator - "Above the Best!"

Bob, you had an illustrious career in the Army and continued that drive and success into civilian life in your second career. I only visited your and Linda's farm in Virginia, but what a nice place to live and raise the horses that you both loved.

You flew "Gunships" in RVN and survived that hazardous occupation. Your military awards speak to the job that you did there in the service of your country.

From our early days at West Point, where you took up with the charming Linda Draper, right through to graduation, it was a pleasure to have known you during our Cadet days.

Dan Dugan
