Edmund Leroy Van Dervort

West Point, 1956

Be Thou At Peace

I'm saddened to have just learned of Edmund's death at such a young age. I was his battery orderly room clerk in 1962. 52nd Arty Bde,
Pedricktown NJ. He inspired me and I had much respect for him. I remembered how he loved to get out of the office when he could and log in some flying time in helocopters. Often he would bring his little boy about age 2 into the office, He looked just like his dad. Over the years I often wondered how he was doing. You never forget good folks.
