Arthur Cleveland Hester

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bob Frank on March 2, 2022:

Like Dave Gnau, I didn't really get to know Art all that well while we were cadets. However, we both went to the 101st Airborne Division as our first assignment. Art was assigned to the Division cav squadron, which was commanded by a real character, LTC McFarland. Art turned in an impressive performance, one which he built on for the rest of his military service. Like the Gnaus, the Franks saw Art and Cinda at Class reunions, often being paired with one or both of them in our golf matches. Both Hesters were gracious and great company. They were missed at the 55+1 Reunion, and we were looking forward to seeing them again at the 60th. Not only is Art's passing to the Ghostly Assemblage a great loss for Cinda, it is a great loss for the Class as well. But, it can truly be said of Art: "Well done!"
