Chuck Remembers . . . I was scheduled to be “ minnie caller ” in the early AM for the First Class. The night before I was scheduled, I came down with a case of the “ Bankok two step ” that continued all night. The next morning, I couldn ’ t get more than two steps from the commode, much less call the minutes for the First Class. “ Cooperate to Graduate ” took over and classmate Lewis stepped in and ran the gauntlet (bless his heart). I remember sitting on the throne, listening to all hell breaking loose downstairs and blessing OC Lewis for stepping into the breech. Thank you again. You are a true officer and gentleman, OC Lewis.
