Jody was my first roommate at the Air Force Academy in 1961. We were both farm kids, he from Georgia and I from Illinois. We had no previous military experience. Consequently, we suffer through the first year with a fuzzy roadmap.
Jody and I last saw each other in DC when I was stationed at the Pentagon (1978). We didn’t agree on politics but still had an intense respect for one another.
