Might be the best I ever read by Wayne van Zwoll. Of course, a subject like Whelen probably helps a bit…..

Enjoyed reading that. You're right about how well written it is. Wayne outdid himself with that one.

And, a great tribute to the Col. Thanks for posting the link.

Thanks, Pappy. I needed that. Whelen's was a life well lived, and van Zwoll outlined it nicely. Would that ethics and aesthetics within the general population today mimicked Whelen's, huh?!
