William Bryant Bachman

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Woodrow J Wilson on June 4, 2019:

Bryant, and I attended and graduated from the USMAPS together. While there he was my best friend. 5 of us rented an apartment in downtown Washington, DC so we would have a place to get away from the Prep. School on weekends, and have a quiet place to study. My good friend from the VIs favorite saying was " work is the curse of the drinking class". He was one of the Brightest, Coolest guys I ever knew. I never doubted he would go on to West Point, and have a successful career. I tuned down my appointment to West Point, wound up attending Law School, earned my Doctor of Law Decree, and then spent most of my working career as a Realestate Developer. Bryant, and I lost contact after Prep. School, but he was often on my mind. I was truly, happy to learn he had earned his Phd.. I didn't learn of his death until today 6/4/2019. We lost a Good Man Too Soon.

RIP old Friend.
