The mother of three-year-old Colin III ("Corky," nominated for West Point by President Roosevelt in a letter to the U.S. President of 1956), observed: ". . . You can never forget the past. . . . But . . . life will and must go on ... while you need not deliberately seek new ties you must not erect false barriers against them. . . . Lieut. Pedlow will do everything in his power to keep alive the fine impression of Captain Kelly in Corky's mind."
