I received word last night that a USNA company mate and classmate had passed away after taking a bad fall. I had known him since we first reported to Annapolis in the summer of 1971. I almost repeated his accident this morning, not 10 hours after getting the news. Coming down the stairs this morning, my foot slipped on the carpet and both feet went out from under me. I slid the final four steps to the first floor. Unfortunately, my left arm got caught between 2 posts and I almost dislocated my shoulder. Had my foot 'caught' instead of slipping, I would have taken a header onto the hardwood floor. Fortunately, I was able to walk away, although my shoulder won't be very useful for several days.
Rest in Peace Marine.
