Stephen P. Walsh

West Point, 1987

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Paul DiRenzo on October 27, 2009:

My first five minutes on one of the toughest jobs I've ever had. 60 to 70 people waiting for an immediate answer on a tough policy issue and the facilitator pressing me hard. I'm in total panic, no clue what to say or do and thumbing through the regulations. A guy I didn't know, Steve Walsh, is two feet in front of me, sees the panic, senses the moment and blurts out "give him a break, he's reading the bible, he'll have an answer in a minute". Only Steve ........didn't know him at all up to that point, but will never forget that lifeline nor that great man!! Many thoughts and prayers to the Walsh family - Steve made many people smile - he had a very special gift.
