Samuel Milton-Selby Rollinson

West Point, 1982

Be Thou At Peace

Thinking of the great person and fine officer that Selby was. The kind of person who caused no "drama" at the office and did all kinds of wonderful things when not on duty. He was a consummate diplomat on the job and a true friend at all times. He did many kind things daily, and was the true example of a "servant" friend, co-worker and leader.
It broke my heart when you passed buddy. I was at work, I drove down to the river and wept. I never thought you'd be gone. When we speak of old times in Hawaii, we always remember and speak of Sam and Jamie's "Airborne" Jumps in your living room in Hawaii. Usually after a weekend football game, when those kids leapt, again and again, from the coffee table screaming "Airborne!". Of course you taught them to do that and they always knew we'd catch them, mid-jump, as their knees were hitting the breeze. God Bless and keep you my dear, good Brother. Ranger Buddies like you are never forgotten and loved forever.
Save a place for us, my Friend.
