Tactical Officer and Friend
Story By Thomas Vanderford('83)
I will be glad to tell you about CWO Charles Hubbard. He
was a TAC officer. He was a strict, but very caring man. He helped me
cope with my Mother's brutal murder. He helped me cope with my fathers
grim medical prognosis. He was a father, a big brother, he was your best
friend. CWO Hubbard saved my life.
He was a very caring man. He helped me get over my homesickness, he
monitored my progress. He rode my tail sometimes. He was a man you
could confide in. He left during the 81-82 school year. His health was
failing, and he just left. No one will ever know how many young men he
helped straighten out. Anyone who knew him would agree that he was
indeed an officer and a gentleman. I'm almost positive he died shortly
thereafter. His memory will live on in the hearts of many a former Ranger.
Mr. Hubbard, you will be sorely missed. Thank you for everything.
