Allyn Jon Palmer

West Point, 1964

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jerome Chmielak on May 6, 2025:

I was Al's roommate firstie year in F-2 (if memory serves correctly).

The unusual title sort of summarizes our relationship - one
of humorous escape from the ordinary stresses and strains.

It refers to the cribbage games we and John
Rogers used to engage in during lunch break.

Other enjoyable memories, albeit cryptic, are the Principal of
the Mashed Bodies and "Look at his feet!" (Mad Magazine).

Last time I recall seeing Al, believe he was an aide de camp.

The Schmoo.
