From the "Howitzer" - 1969 "Thomas Edward Karstens, Renton, Washington, H-4 "Tom came from his Washington paradise with an ambling gait and an oblivious look that stayed with him throughout his cadet career. Tom was able to overcome the system and managed to stay off the area and on the Dean's List with a minimum of effort. Attracted to younger girls with long blond hair, he even attempted a company Playboy Club, complete with Playmate (Blond). A true friend to all, his easy-going manner and mischievous grin will be remembered by all. "Rocket Society 3, 2, 1; Fine Arts Forum 4, 3; 'Howitzer' Staff 2, 1; Military Affairs 4, 3. Field Artillery." Remembered in Memorial Book, Association of Graduates, Herbert Hall (2nd Fl), West Point. USMA classmate, may you rest in peace. |
