Be Thou At Peace

From those autumn days of 1950 at the Prep School on Stewart Field, Gerry Chikalla has always been, to me, a person really enjoying life. Memories of those days will live forever with me and I am sure many others. Nature and athletic pursuits were his realm. Outdoor activities and a good beer were his relaxations. Our military assignments never crossed, but while he was assigned to the Frankfurt Community I, as a civilian, accompanied him to the official opening of the new USO booth in the Rhein-Main Terminal. He always had a sincere interest in troop welfare activities. For Gerry, I am sure we can all say he lived a life that was a credit to himself and the ideals of West Point. Farewell, Bob Deardorff |
