Remy Benoit is the "go to" writing person. It was my privilege to assist her in completing an idea which resulted in the work Both Sides of the Wall: Reflections of the West Point Class of 1968. Being a member of that class, and wanting my friends and classmates to put the story of their service and life in the military, for future generations to have and not be forgotten, Remy seized the moment. She became friend, confessor, counselor and editor for us and our stories. Varied stories and complex lives had their memories woven into a valuable history of our nation's most precious resource: the heart and soul of its warriors, who gave their youth—and many who paid with their lives in the Vietnam experience. A triumph of an undertaking like no other.

I love working with you. If I get stuck, ramble or just need a nudge you are there. The best part is having your soft edged comments and positive, instructive and timely critiques.
