During 57 – 59 Carl and I shared a room at Charlotte Hall Military Academy. In the same period Carl saved my life when I fell through the ice on Glebe Creek with fireman’s boots on, Carl grabbed a sign post and handed it to me which allowed me to get out of a bad situation.
Sorry to hear of Carl’s passing. He was a good guy.
