Edward Breed Atkeson

West Point, 1951

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by John Derrick on July 19, 2020:

From plebe year through to first class we were on the 100TH NITE Show.At WP we double dated some and frequently got together on weekends. Later years I remember visiting Ted's family in D.C. - always so kind and hospitable to all. I served w/Ted through basic FA course and then we split in our service assignments. He was a great friend and I will miss him. The last time I saw Ted/Evie was at the Celebration of Life for Don Van Matre a few seasons back in VA!

A farewell SALUTE to a GREAT CLASSMATE - LOVED and RESPECTED by so many!

John
