  • Aggie Class of '69 died last Saturday in College Station. Friend from our freshman year on who went into the Army Infantry School with me after graduation. Fellow skydiver, Infantry, Airborne, Ranger Tab, Pathfinder Tab, 75th Rangers in Vietnam where we ran into each other Xmas 1970 by chance. Multiple decorations there and I considered him to be the best of the best that the US Army ever had. His wife Janice gave me the best buttermilk pie recipe I ever had which I still use to this day. He, my first roommate Frank and I all were Infantry and not a Purple Heart between us. I thought we were supposed to be invincible, but now the other two sadly are gone. I will miss them both.??
