Raymond John Schaltenbrand

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by G. Jerry Merges on March 19, 2024:

Ray and I were competitors long before our days at USMA. We were South Florida swimmers, competing over the years in summer meets and in high school, at different schools.
Ray was a fierce competitor, a great friend and we had many years of friendly rivalry. He and I closed out our high school career in the state championship 100 yard freestyle, finishing 1-2 and the next time we saw each other was in the pool with the great '65 class of great swimmers.
Ray was a great teammate and a joy to be around.
The next time I put cinnamon on my scrambled eggs, I will remember the time he introduced me to this breakfast treat.
Great memories of a terrific friend. 🙏
