with Memories from Hundreds from the Long Gray Line
Show Notes with Links:
- A is for ARMY…I ask Peter why he made the decision to join the Army, especially since he’s an artist.
- Peter discusses the artwork he created for this book.
- “Army is the other family you have.” ~ R. Jim Steiner ’78. I ask about Peter’s relationship with the Army.
- Peter discusses the process for putting together all the pieces: the alphabet definitions, the artwork, the input from past graduates of West Point.
- He talks about his “favorite” letter!
- As an Old Grad, he’s still active. I saw on Facebook a photo of him presenting an appointment letter to a soon-to-be new cadet. [ I mention my representing West Point at the local high school Career Fair day]
- We talk about “X-Traditions” and how we both contributed to the POINTER magazine (no longer published). Peter also designed the crest for his class ring (West Point Class of 1978).
- I ask if he was a hazer (I didn’t think so)!
- Peter has great advice for young people considering West Point and the military academies.
- Peter is working on a book for his USMA Class of 1978 for their next reunion.
- I put in a plug for The Virginia War Memorial’s Mighty Pen Project for veterans, led by New York Times Best-Selling Author David L. Robbins.
