Glenmore John Runnion

West Point, 1957

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jim Hankee, Class of '58 on March 4, 2011:

Glen Runnion was a year ahead of me in Co L-1 at West Point. He was a quiet, low key guy with a great, albeit dry, sense of humor.

I remember when he was a firstie and I was a cow we had a little one-up-man-ship thing going on between us.
One afternoon when I got back from class there was a small note attached to my door (by Glen although he never admitted it).

To this day I remember the quote:

"Vengeance is a deceiving act, bringing upon the avenger only a continued remittance of what would have been avenged."
