Henry Spiese Aurand

West Point, 1944

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Bradford K. Klein on November 17, 2007:

Hank, I never got to know you until my Mother introduced me to you and wife Marcy. You were on one of your jaunts back East, to do R&D in the Washington area, and over white wine and one of my Mother's famous dinners, we got to know the family experiences that had overlapped our lives. Yes, we were related going way back, back to the days when your late father and my late grandfather were cousins sitting on the porch of Pine Street in downtown Tamaqua, PA, circa 1890s. But that is ancient history and now you join the leagues of former West Pointers and others who have trodden this earth. May you find your glass always filled as the sun sets in the West!
Your extended cousin
"Kim"
