Remembrances:
Class Memorial Pages\E-1 Red Zaldo.pdf
Red and I go back to grade and high school in El Paso,
Texas. We were both "Brats" and were real close friends. We both did a year of
prepping after high school before entering WP with the Class of 1961. We sang in
the Catholic Choir for 4 years. Red beat me across the graduation stage by a
year. Red finished as Class Goat in 1961.
In 1970, both off active duty, we found ourselves both in Los Angeles. Red was
single and moved out of his house for a few weeks so my family could live there
while I looked for a job and a place to live. He was always generous in that
way.
In LA we went to Dodger games and were active in the WP societies there. I had
not seen him since 1996 before I moved to Dallas.
Red will be missed by those who knew him.
Peace be with you old friend.
Tom Moore, USMA 1962
