It is very heavy wool, and I hope that cadets had/have something<br>else to wear in the summer. There is no possibility of me fitting it,<br>but perhaps my son can put it on and if so I'll post a photo.<br><br>My father did not remember West Point fondly. He was in an accelerated<br>three-year wartime class, was always rushing, and never got enough sleep.<br>The invasion of Japan was expected in spring of 1946,<br>and he and his classmates expected to be part of that as soon as they<br>graduated. Fortunately, both sides were spared that horror.<br><br>In high school he told me that he might be able to help me get in to <br>West Point if I wanted, but he didn't recommend it.<br><br>In later years he reflected that he probably didn't have the right <br>team-orientation as opposed to individual-contributor orientation for <br>success at the highest military levels.<br><br>David Hough<br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Granville-Hough mailing list<br>Granville-Hough@oakapple.net<br>http://mailman.oakapple.net/mailman/listinfo/granville-hough<br><br><br>End of Granville-Hough Digest, Vol 22, Issue 1<br>**********************************************<br></body>
