MSG (Ret) Al Knox
Those of you from 5th from the last few years may remember Al Knox he retired back in 06(?). He was a Great guy and will be missed. He was working for Blackbird and had just returned from a trip. Passed away in his sleep, he was 49.
Rest in Peace Brother........

I'm trying to remember where I met him too. I think it was at a school before I retired. Sad news, may he rest in peace.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)

Damn....what a shame.
RIP AL, prayers and well wishes to your family and friends.
Al and I were in C/1/5 together for a bit before I retired in '99.
RIP Al.
