Gerald George Chikalla

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bill Welter on June 9, 2008:

Chick was my first room-mate in Beast Barracks, he coming from the US Army and me coming from Lafayette College (White Bucks snd all). Chick taught me how to survive Beast, something I thought was impossible before coming under Chick's wing. Chick was E2 and I was F2 and we swam together on the Army Team so we saw a lot of each other during our 4 years on the rock. I always, and still do, think of Chick as being a Soldier's Soldier.

Well done old friend.

Rest in Peace.
