From the "Howitzer" -- 1969 JAMES ALBERT RUSSELL, Alderson, West Virginia, C-4 If the Royal Court of West Point ever had a jester, it was "Rou." He was the aurora borealis of gloom period. He had more "moves" perched between his big ears than Houdini had tricks. Never one to let the system get him down, he would often be seen in the middle of central area daring West Point to fight. Light hearted, confident, and smart, Rou will always be remembered as a loyal friend who could always be relied on for anything asked of him. His friends will wish him luck, knowing that he deserves all the success he may be counted on to receive. Behavioral Science 3, 2, 1; French Club 3,2. Field Artillery. USMA classmate, may you rest in peace. Obituary: www.wvdn.com/52302 |
