Other Comments:
Colonel Webb retired in 1976 from serving as C of S at West Point and settled in Mt. Vernon, VA pursuing a career in Real Estate. Currently, he lives in a Fairfax Retirement Home near Fort Belvoir, VA. He is now 88 years old but still mentally with it. He is confined to a wheel chair and or scooter most of the time suffering from arthritis and old age. Unfortunatelt, he does not use a computer, but keeps up with the 3/4 Cavalry Chapter via our Newsletter. His wife, Lynn, is currently in Hospice for an agressive breast cancer. Their daughter is there with her. Colonel Webb fortunately has several of their children in the area and they are able to attend to his needs also,
