Robert Dennis Rood

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by David Gabel on March 25, 2002:

I knew Bob as a cadet, being in the same half of the Second Regiment all four years, as was Bob. So we were in classes together a lot.

Then, in '72, I reported to the Juice Department as a new instructor, and found Bob there ahead of me. We had a great time working together. Bob's sense of humor was always a happy antidote to some of the pressure that we lived with from time to time. He was a super friend, always willing to share a grin and a laugh.

Bob, I will always remember you with great fondness.
