Dear Larry, I know God has you now in the palm of his hand and you are at peace, I hope your wonderful Wife and Family will find peace in the many memories of you and a Life well lived. I will remember always the Company "C" Prize Squad when we were the first Company to "Beat the Band" in that very competitive Prize Squad Drill of so long ago. You were the one who came up with the innovative "Silent Drill" which we executed so flawlessly on the night of the competition. I think it was the first time we did it right after screwing it up so many times during our many practices. Thank You and may God hold you in the "Palm of his Hand."

Your Friend,
Tom Glenn, Class of "51"
