William Robert Johansen

West Point, 1956

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Kim Day (Bill's Daughter) on February 19, 2009:

My Dad left us an unfinished manuscript of his life memories, and many of them are of West Point. I don't know how many of you will view this, or even wish to respond, but I would love to know if anyone can fill in the missing memories for those of us he left behind....

They are mainly just words, which he wrote as notes to himself.....and may not have any meaning to anyone but himself, but on the off chance that someone else is willing to share.

West Point:
Beast Barracks
the hops
Newburgh Ferry
Barth tubs
weapons room
Plebe Hike
Buckner
Russian
Mr. Maltzoff
Army/Navy Games in Philly
Parades in NY and DC
summer trips
GA and Roger Blunt Late assignment
walking the area
jets
Wisconsin big boom
passing out at parades on plain
football games
remember Duke in NYC
cleaning the bore SAMI
mess hall
plebe duties
big dick ice cream
falling out 7/4/52
football scandel
playing football
Earle Blake
Green Bay coach

We all would appreciate if any of you can elaborate on any of these memories that you might share with Dad.

Blessings to you all,
Kim Day for Joan and the Johansen family
