He said he wanted to meet us, shake our hands, and make sure that we knew how proud he was of the work we did. He seemed very gracious to everybody in uniform, no matter what their rank was.
I met him at CPAC, either in ‘78 or ‘79. He was a fireball speacker but very kind one on one.
I always liked him. Hated to see him lose, esp. in a questionable race.
He is an encyclopedia of American military history.
