George L Monahan Jr

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Matt Quinn on January 25, 2006:

George,
We were set to have lunch in Houston in January. You called and told me you had to cancel, but you would be back in February and we would get together then. "To go over old times." I was really looking forward to it. A lot of water . . .
In the meantime I got a call from your classmate at Saint Thomas who told me we wouldn't see you this side of the beatific vision. I was stunned.
To a great leader, a great person, and a wonderful upper classman.

May you always take the right fork in the road,
May the wind always be at your back,
May the winds fall gently on your fields, and
May the Lord keep you in the palm of His hand.

Be Thou at Peace.

MJ '56
