THE WALL OF FACES

Thanks Glenn for your friendship; It has been 55 years since we said goodby to each other this week, thanks for the ride to Cam Ran to catch my flight home, Larry Smith

Glen was my roommate at Camp Walters during fixed wing WO candidate pre-flight.
Class 65-6. Then on to Ft. Rucker together.
I miss him!

CWO Gerald Allen

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 sun 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.

As long as you are remembered you will never die...
