I read his autobiography many years ago - a good read; I'd recommend it.  (The man's hobby was tinkering with old Volvo automobiles!)  I later had the opportunity to hear him speak at an event and thoroughly enjoyed it.  The man had a presence!  Extremely bright, a set of values most of us would largely agree with, and a good sense of humor.

 

RIP, General.  And thank you for being here when you were.
