James Philo Isenhower

West Point, 1969

Be Thou At Peace

From the "Howitzer" - 1969

"James Philo Isenhower, Jr., Conover, North Carolina, C-4

"Ike, or Philo, came from Conover bringing lots of desire and little hair. To him, life was normal until the Duke game junior year when he fell for Peggy. From then on his time was spent playing solitaire, answering midnight phone calls, tossing in his sleep, and talking to a dead frog named Delbert. Peggy got 'the ring' six months later. A great organizer, he kept the soccer team rolling while spending 23 hours a day on homework. His warm smile, strong personality, and loyalty will carry him as far as Peggy desires him to go.

"Soccer 4, 3, 2, Manager 1; Sunday School Teacher 2, 1; Flying Club 2, 1; Astronomy Club 4, 3, 2, 1; Portuguese Club 4, 3. Infantry."

"Assembly" Memorial Article: July 1988. Remembered in Memorial Book, Association of Graduates, Herbert Hall (2nd Fl), West Point.

USMA classmate, may you rest in peace.
