Be Thou At Peace
Posted by Phil Bouchard on January 15, 2004:
| "Buck", George Monahan, and I roomed together in a rented home while undergoing Combat Crew Training at Perrin AFB,TX in 1957. Quiet and reserved, he was the perfect complement to his wilder roommates. But if ever I were to choose a person to trust in combat or in life's challenges, Buck would be at the top of my list. He had a steadying influence on any situation. It came as no surprise that he garnered his doctorate and fame in the Atlanta construction business. A great talent taken away from us too soon. A great credit to his family; to West Point; to our Air Force ---- and to our country. Be thou at peace old buddy. Phil Bouchard |
