George Byron

. The morning was single-digit cold in Colorado Springs with maybe 3 inches of overnight snow on a thin glaze of ice from freezing rain. As I got about half way from the South Gate to the Chapel, however, the sun came out, and all the trees looked as if they had been flocked. It truly was a beautiful drive from there on to the Cadet Area.When I joined in, USAFA Catholic Chaplain, Father Efren Adversario was officiating.
Another distinguished looking priest was sharing the service. Later as he acknowledged various attendees, he mentioned the names of Karen and Stinky Steinbrink. My first thought was now there`s a priest who`s done his homework. As I focused a bit more on the priest, I recognized Jerry Adinolfi.
