Rest Forrest, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation.
Forrest worked at Cessna Elementary. My Mom Pat Harper taught fourth grade and I attended school there. My Mom was friends with Forrest and Hilde. I got my first job working under Forrest as a part time helper from 4 to 7 in the evenings at Cessna in 1975. In the summer it would turn into a full 40 an hour week job getting the school ready for the next school year. I grew up without a Dad until I was 7. I had a lot of good male role models to look up to in my life. I believe Forrest being so calm and sure fast to work for. Being my first real boss, certainly made a big difference in my life. My Mom passed away in 2013. My prayers are with you and your family. Michael R Harper
