John Hallett

West Point, 2001

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Stuart Williams '02 on August 30, 2009:

Lisa, I wanted to share my deepest sympathy to you and the entire Hallett family. I played water polo with Johnny, and he was a great captain, and he inspired us to do our best, even when we really didn't want to. I remember Johnny would grow his hair out "long" as a cadet. We would brag about who would have the longer hair. He would trim his own hair just along his ears and his neck to have it appear within regulation. Before graduation, he actually had to get his haircut at the barber shop. The barbers gave him a hard time, possibly borderline hazing. That's Johnny, and it will still make me smile when I continue to tell it. Well done, Johnny, be thou at peace.
