William Lloyd Welter

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Robert C. H. Schmidt on March 26, 2009:

Willie and I were on the swimming team and waterpolo club team. In our firstie year the waterpolo team won the Eastern Collegiate Conference championship and the eastern Junior National American Athletic Union championship. It wouldn't have happened without Willie. At the half we were behind, 5 to 2, but Willie scored five goals in the second half and we won, 8 to 5. I still have a copy of the team photograph taken after the game among my most prized possessions.
