James L. Smith

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Mike Leibowitz on December 12, 2005:

Plebe year I had the unfortunate opportunity to spar with Mike O'Grady in boxing class. Unfortunate, because Mike landed a solid left on my right temple and gave me a concussion.

The only person in the class to realize my injury was Jim Smith. He got me out of the shower and into my clothes and he protected me from all the upper classmen demanding that I brace while escorting me to the hospital.

Thanks Jim, and be at peace.
