Very interesting -- I did not know that.
I have read a couple of Coyle's books, but not that one.
As a matter of fact ...
We were both attending VMI at the same time -- I was a Rat and he was a First Class Cadet.
Our paths probably crossed more than once, (he was a 1st Class Pvt. in D Co and I was in E Co. 1st Class Pvt's are a breed unto their own) but I spent most of my free time swimming laps at the pool in an attempt to avoid the upper class cadets. Being on the varsity swimming team provided me with some "protection" from the petty indignities that many of them seemed to enjoy inflicting on the Rats.
I would guess the Coyle is the most famous member of the Class of '74
It was, to say the least, an "interesting" year.
