West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Chuck

I meant to get this off on your birthday but you know how those things go. Your brother got his message off on time so at least you had something to read. Anyway, HAPPY Birthday!

And by the way, thanks for taking a somewhat shy, insecure kid under your wing so many years ago and helping him believe in himself and his abilities. You even joined the fraternity I wanted to join. I know you would have preferred to be a DU.

I miss you Chuck. You were as good a friend as I've had, even though we had but one brief year together. I'll be seventy in a month and a half. Wish we could celebrate together.

In the bonds,
Jim
