There are many places around the Academy grounds to take spectacular photographs, almost on a daily basis.
That first summer, we new arrivals were given an extensive orientation of the facilities.
The Human Relations officer said something during his presentation that wasn't really accurate. He spoke of gay personnel. I no longer remember the exact words he used, but they really would not apply until over thirty-two years later.
Perhaps he was just trying to think ahead. Unfortunately, for me, it was too far ahead to impact my career.
One of those on the tour was a new law instructor for the Law Department. In less than a year, he would be selected to defend Keith Bostic, the cadet who would ruin my career, as well as his own.
When the English Department found out that I had been the Squadron supply officer at Minot, I was given the same job there. Most of that time it required my picking up new IBM Selectric typewriter balls for the typewriters that all of the department secretaries used.
Most of them seemed to like me quite a bit because I took care of what they needed promptly. And most seemed very saddened when I was forced to resign.
