Richard William Masson

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Carl Cathey on September 12, 2000:

I really got to know Dick Masson after we graduated and went into the Air Force. ,When Marcia and I were assigned to Saudi Arabia in 1977, Dick came that same day with the Director of DSAA, Lt Gen Howie Fish, to introduce us to our new assignment. We talked many times about that wonderful way to be introduced to a country. Then Dick and Greta visited with us in Europe when we were at Ramstein. What fun we had in Germany. The beer and wine weren't too bad either. Dick and Greta were always around it seems when ever we returned to the DC area. Dick was always among those in the class setting up things and meeting with his classmates for many occasions. When Al Edwards was alive, it seemed that we all gather together even more. We all miss Al too. The class has enjoyed Dick setting up the Christmas brunch at Army/Navy Club. So what can I say about a true friend and classmate. Dick we love you and know that in our hearts you have gone to your reward. We'll be here with Greta until that day when we are have the final reunion. Bless you both.
Carl & Marcia Cathey
