How I got my appointment to West Point
I graduated from John Marshall High School in Southern California in the Summer of 1949 and went to Occidental College, with no thought of going to West Point. Shortly before the end of my Freshman year at Occidental, my Uncle Col A. J. McGehee, US Army Ret. and West Point Class of 1923 called and asked if I wanted to be drafted and sent to Korea. In 1950 in Korea there was a war going on, and not a pleasant one. I obviously told him no and inquired how I could avoid this.

He advised that since my father was killed in WWII (West Point class of 1928) I had an automatic appointment as a son of deceased veteran. However, I wasn't academically prepared to pass an entrance exam, so I should enlist for the US Army Preparatory School and he would help. He drove me to the Recruiting Station in San Francisco where I was sworn in and put on a train with meal tickets, destination New York with bus transfer to Stewart Field. I arrived at the Prep School like a civilian with four days in grade as a Pvt. E-1, and it took me awhile to become adjusted. I often think back to that phone call from my Uncle and how he changed my life for the better.

Best regards,

Matt Schepps
