A leader and a teacher
Maj. Crouse was the Bn XO of 1/37 FA, 172nd Inf Bde (Mech) and I was a green Lt. During my very first field maneuver with the battalion he called be over into a secluded wood, locked my heals and gave me a royal chewing out. I didn't know what I did wrong but I sure learned. An hour later I ran into him again -- and he greeted me like his favorite son. I learned criticize in private, praise in public. He was a great soldier and a very nice person.

do not stand at my grave and weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

A true uncle and buddy
Actually Les was my uncle in law but closer to a big brother. He would. Come to our farm in Kansas when I was 11 to 14 years old. He treated me so awesome. I will never forget we had a large mulberry tree go down. Dad didn’t own a chainsaw but still had his grandpa’s 2 man crosscut saw from the 1890’s. Les taught me how a crosscut worked. He was a good man. I stay in touch with his middle son Doc.

An Officer And A Gentleman
I served with Major Crouse in Hq & Hq Btry 1/37th Artillery at Fort Richardson, Ak in 1967. Renaming the headquarters building Crouse Hall was a small tribute to a very fine officer.
