Fellow RJR62 classmate, Philip Tesh, passed away 2/27/10. I haven't seen Philip since high school and had no idea what had happened to him. When I found his obituary, however, I was extremely impressed by the inspirational life that he led. After high school, he went into the Marines, retiring after a long and honorable career as a First Sergeant with a chest full of medals. After that he was a guest lecturer at various locations on the Civil War. It appears that he had a large loving family, settling in Louisburg, Kansas where he spent his final years. His family and friends called him, "Pops," I refer you to his obituary at http://www.penwellgabellouisburg.com/obituary-pg.asp?src=choice&obitid=38888 Please note, there is a wonderful video of his life attached to the obit, which is well worth watching.
We send our deepest regrets to Phillip's wife and family.
