I was stationed at Fort Benning, GA and had a part time job as a projectionist in the Post theaters. One day when I was working Theater #6, and the audience was mostly basic trainees, a Drill Instructor came up to the projection booth and asked if I could open the large port window because the trainees were getting a little rowdy. When I did he yelled “at ease” to quiet them down. Years later I related the story to Steve as he had been a trainee at Ft. Benning. To my surprise, Steve said that he had been in that audience.
A candle was lit for the decedent.
