I did not know Hump at West Point, he was from the "other" Regt. From what I have learned of his life these last few days, the following poem seems to be his message to us all. "Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamonds glints on snow; I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autum's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the siwft uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die. My spirit lives" author unknown Rest in peace Hump Bill Welter Classmate |
