Shedd, Harry Lee, Jr.

1954--a short enternity ago. Thirty-two strong, we descended on the Lost Fifties and Gung-two, amid clothing displays, company boards, and cries of "Take Brigade." Four years, three upper classes, two tacs, and one heck of a lot of friends later, we're separating again--ready for what lies ahead because of what has gone behind. The twenty-four who made it have a lot of memories--Biff's constructive criticism, Weezy's brown boy, Shunk's "Hey Hugh,", Edgie's 20-20, Guspadene's teeth, Herren's pipe, the amours of Huff, Easley, and Forman. Hugh's Sunday School classes, Palmer's Rebel yell, and Fay's "This place leaves something to be desired." No one will forget Kosciusko, Fatty Arbuckle, Moose Arbruster, Doctor McCauley, Herr Depew, Bird-dog, Fluffy, Tubby, Wing-Ding, Looney, Bellie, Lump Lump, and the last, but not least, Spuds and Ollie.

Please review the "Roommates" chart at hyperlinked button below to assure accuracy. For additions/corrections, please email Claradell at [email protected] Also under construction, is a linking page which will detail "stories" told by various roomies. Then your G-2 company classmate's name will be linked to his respective "story."

John:
As has been mentioned earlier, you may recall that at George Lawton's G2 get-together hosted by his parents at their home in Arlington after the 1957 Eisenhower Inaugural Parade, the basement was sparse in accommodating the G2 file represented. As George said earlier, his sister Mary had lined up a number of young ladies for those few hours before Corps formation at Union Station for the trip back to WP. The Lawtons had generously obliged the G2ers "requests for specific spirits" and same was being imbibed with alacrity. You were dancing around the washing machine and finished the dance with a "California dip"...accidentally dropping your dancing partner into the lap of one who had tipped a few. I was the "imbiber" who suddenly found this woman in my lap. That gal (from Iowa) was Claradell who was in the Foreign Service preparing for depature overseas. The rest is blessed history. We have been married over 42 years and every day gets better! It has been a fun story for us whenever anyone asks how we met, and we recount how Claradell was literally dropped into my lap. Thanks, John, George, and Mary for the fun memories!
Harry
