Edward P. Sykes

West Point, 1948

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by William Buckner on December 20, 2001:

I remember Parry fondly from the times we went dove and pheasant hunting together when stationed at Ft. Riley in 1948. We even camped out one night together at Fort Riley in order to catch the doves coming into the sunflower fields at dawn. It comes back to me know that we drank a lot of beer that night around our campfire. Parry was fun to be with.

My condolences to his surviving family.
