Robert Francis Selkis

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Mark E. Sheridan on April 5, 2016:

Bob,

In Beast Barracks you were the guy to avoid - your IGAS attitude was a magnet for upperclass wrath. Somehow you got away with it!

In Math and Science classes we were major competitors - who would go from section 26 to section section 25. We met often; turn out exams, Academic Con in the library, and; once or twice on the Area.

You were a great friend for almost 55 years. You were always a gentleman; you were always the sharpest and funniest guy in any crowd; and you always loved every Class event. My wife, Linda, thought that you were respectful and charming. I thought, you were the guy I wanted on my six.

You were as good as our Class ever had. I am so proud that you considered me your friend.

Mark
