I have been very fortunate to have people in my life that love and care about me. When I was in the Army, after 6 years of being an admin clerk i reenlisted for a new job, we call it MOS in the military. I went to Intel school in 1980, graduated and my first assignment was at Fort Carson with the 4th Infantry Division where I met the new G-2, LTC Luther Potter. He made us feel more like a team, a family and we did some difficult deployments and came out on top. We have so many stories to tell. LTC Potter became my Army dad and we remained family for the rest of our lives. He knew my parents and anytime we would get together we would share some stories because we had some great stories! I was able to talk to him on my wedding day and we had the honor to say how much we love each other. I am so glad I could have a few words with him. It is with a heavy heart to share that my Army dad mad his transition today! He had been dealing with with cancer for a long time! Fly free soldier! You will definitely be missed. I love you dad, Ponya, COL Luther L. Potter, Military Intelligence Officer, Retired. Namaste
