John Kenneth Christian

West Point, 1969

Be Thou At Peace

From the "Howitzer" -- 1969

JOHN KENNETH CHRISTIAN, Temple, Texas, E-2.

Ken proved very quickly that Texans can take anything. We never saw Ken get flustered, even with the many problems that besieged him from the opposite sex. Ken's idea of happiness was simple. When he wasn't listening to jazz on his stereo system, he could be found at the rifle range. Only academics disrupted his pattern. We are sure Ken's "cool" will prove a tremendous asset in his promising future.
