Mark Louis Waple

West Point, 1969

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Peter Drower on July 13, 2026:

I had the great opportunity to be on Speech and Debate w Mark. It was great.

Mark came to USMA after two years at another university and was more mature and experienced than many of us. I was fortunate that not only were we on the same company as Plebes and Yearlings but I became his partner in the speech and debate club. On our first trip as plebes we went to tournament st St Anselm College in New Hampshire and Mark showed me what a "normal" college weekend was like as we cruised thru the student areas of the town.

Mark was always kind and thoughtful and zones fortunate to have him as a friend!
