From the "Howitzer" -- 1969 MARK LOUIS WAPLE, Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, D-2 After 2 years at Duke University, "The Weasel" came to West Point fully prepared to take on the responsibilities of cadet life, and has developed into one of our finest leaders. When he's not headhunting for the Honor Committee, or performing one of his other many duties, you might find him imitating Chet Atkins on his 47 string guitar, but more than likely you won't find him at all, unless you're familiar with his ability to lie so flat under his brown boy as to appear non-existent. Honor Committee Vice Chairman 3, 2, 1; Debate Council and Forum 4, 3, 2, 1; Custodian 1; Handball Club 3, 2; German Club 4, 3; Fine Arts Forum 3, 2, 1. Infantry USMA classmate, RIP. |
