Ann, and Davis Family, I first encounter a very tough NCO at the U of Akron sometime the first year he was stationed with the ROTC detachment. I remember it well. He sure gave me hell about what a terrible cleaning job I thought was just fine on my M1.
But as time went on he and I hit it off. By the time I was Junior and then Senior I was learning a lot from him that has lasted me all my life. Considering I am 80 that is long time. It was not just how to take apart, clean, and put the M1 together, but the way to keep focus on my long term goals, and as I was married the importance of family. I have often thought about the first out of house visit Nancy and I made with Jody, the first born in September of '64 when you and Allen had us come visit you in October and Allen holding Jody in a rocking chair. I stayed in touch with him over these many years. I remember he came to Akron years ago and stayed with us for a couple of days. Nancy sure enjoyed seeing him. Another time you both came to Akron and the four of us had a dinner and a chance to have a wonderful visit. He came to Akron again in October of 2017 and my twin grandsons got to meet him which was a big thing for them and me. One, Jaret, is Junior in ROTC U of Akron on Army Scholarship. Wants to make career in the Army. He and I often talk about the "Old Warrior" and his guidance to me the "Young Warrior". In short that man sure had a major part in getting my moral compass pointed correctly. He was wonderful man, and a Solid Citizen of this Republic. Bet he and Nancy are going over my shortcomings of which I have enough to keep them occupied. Sergeant Allen Davis it was privilege to know you and Ann. JOHN H. SHOEMAKER CUYAHOGA FALLS OHIO
