James Hanlin Kinzer

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bill Welter on June 8, 2002:

Jack and I got to know each other during the 4 years we both lived in the 'Lost Fifties', Jack in H2 and I in F2. Our paths never crossed after graduation but I will always remember Jack as my lifetime Buddy.
He was the essence of the term 'laid back'. No matter what the problem, and we had many problems in the 'Lost Fifties' (most were TAC created), Jack was unruffled and always had a calming word. I am sure that trait served Jack well in later years when he fought for his good health.
Jack, well done, rest in peace with Our Lord.

Bill
