It might have been the winter of 60 or 61, Major Sheets had an office located on the East Barracks side of Lanier Hall  next to the furnace room (new boys, you won't be be able to visualize this as you have no idea where East Barracks was).  I can't remember what Major Sheets did there..(or what he did at all) but...he would park his very small car right next to this mountain of coal that was used to heat Lanier.... A group, (it could have included John Eichorn, he was my roomate) of us from East Barracks, under the cover of darkness of night, went out, picked the car up and put it on top of the pile of coal.

Some rat snitched...I got a message from Col. May to report to his office the next day....I was pretty scared.  I reported to his office at the Lanier Annex and saluted as normal, he looked a me, looked down at his desk and swollowed a laugh and asked me if I had anything to do with the "coal pile incident".   I figured I'd better fess up, cause I didn't want to dig myself in deeper.....Got 50 demerits, told me he was being "kind" and ...."you better not do anything like that again".  A very, very, faint smile (he did not smile often) and a "dismissed".  I think that was my worst moment ever at Riverside....
