I took chemistry in 1977 from Mr. Rewis. I remember one day we were all sitting in the class wondering where he was. His face came around the corner of the door. His hand came over his face and pulling his face back out of the class as he said, "I don't want to come to class today!" Then he entered the room put his foot in the metal trash can and walked around the room loudly. Being an officer on duty my saber was on his desk. He went behind his desk grabbed the saber and loudly opened it and closed it while crouching behind his desk with his hat turned backwards looking at us with a scary face. I think he was a great boxer also and took it to one of my friends at FMA. Another story to be told. Ha... Dale you remember? 43 plus years later and it was just like yesterday. RIP my friend. Class of 77 FMA

I too just learned of 'Captain Rewis's passing. Richard was also my Chemistry instructor at Frederick Military Academy in the late 70's, and also our Glee Club leader for my very short but fun singing career! I remember Richard was very charismatic and very intelligent, with high energy and confidence. It wasn't until I read his bio that I was aware of his extensive military service and awards. As a recently retired Lieutenant Colonel, I hold Richard in higher regard now that I now more about his past. One of my earliest recollections is one Monday when he came into class and said that he read a certain book over the weekend. It was a very long book - and I seem to recall he said it was "War and Peace". Whatever the title, I was sure only someone with his diligence and patience could sit that long and read that much, that fast in so little time. My certain regret is that I didn't ask him for extra tutoring in Chemistry. I sure could have used the extra knowledge when I went to college and struggled thru a class of 300 students in my freshman Chemistry class! God Bless Richard and his family - my prayers are with you all.
