When I read what's going on now in all of this reorganization and everything, I say
to myself, "Thank God, I'm not in this."
Q ..
Well, it's sort of clear to us that they don't know where they're going, from what
I can see. What they're going to end up doing, as an old Deputy Chief of Engineers
told me, they'll just reinvent what used to be there at one time before. There's no

I met a lot of generals while they were on the Mississippi River Commission and the
Model Board. I know what he did after he retired. But I felt like I knew him before

always liked General Graham.
