Your conversion brings many memories. During 1934-1936, I was an enlisted man in the 2nd Coast Artillery at Fort Monroe attending the West Point Prep School. After I graduated from West Point in 1942, I attended the Coast Atillery School at Ft. Monroe and, through courtesy of Capt. George Rhoades (USN) then resident manager during the war, lived there during June and July with my new bride. It was hot! No air conditioning. I recall looking out across the water one night toward the Norfolk Naval Base and the surface was like a plate of glass. Not a ripple.
