army from 1926-1930, and president of the citadel for 20 years. timothy nenninger discusses his book at the annual association of the u.s. army meeting held at the washington convention center in washington, d.c.. the program is about 35 minutes. >> i'd like to speak a little bit about the genesis of the manuscript, and then give you a brief overview of general summerall's career, and why i think he is an important figure in history of the american army in the early 20th century, and i think his memoirs is worth reading. summerall wrote his memoir in 1950. he wasn't optogenetics you was approaching retirement within a couple of years from the presidency of the citadel. he wrote it, had wrote it on legal sized paper. he had no, he had no intent to publish the manuscript. he did it as his grandson said, for diversion, and to enlighten his family about his career. and he died within three years of having completed the manuscript. at which point his son tied the handwritten manuscript, created 185 angle space, very dense pages. and for many years, this

i mentioned that he was the president of his educational organization, the citadel. but one gets the impression, at least from the memoir, summerall seem to learn a lot from his relationships with people much more than fair relationships with books. and he seemed to very forgot to developing long-term friendships from brief encounters. there's several instances in the memoir where he would meet somebody on a train trip somewhere and they would become lifelong friends. and when he was at the citadel, he was he would bng

vmi and the citadel. many of his friendships were developed with civilians, but i think perhaps as importantly were some of the relationships he had with fellow officers. he had early in his career had two very strong mentors, henry j. raley u.s. a battery commander in the fifth artillery when summerall was in the fifth artillery. and robert l. roland who later became fellow commander of the first division and also a corps commander in the aes. both of these were very strong influences on summerall's early career. fortunately braley was killed in the speech of picking, but very interestingly and somewhat touching me, henry j. raley junior became a field artillery regimental commander in the summerall's brigade and division during world war i and summerall became a mentor to henry raley junior. alvin barton who was his aid during the war. well there was an emergency became an oil -- oilfield executive in oklahoma after the work, but again remained a lifelong friend of summerall. his memoir is always candid,

when president bush took office in january, 2000, the citadel was $5.6 trillion surplus. didn't use the surplus to make social security more solvent nor did he use the surplus to put on the national debt and lower interest payments so that this country would be in better place for the baby boom generation which we have known for 55 years of coming and we didn't use the decade just before the baby boom generation retired to get ready for the retirement of the baby boom generation, and i would say that is one of the greatest failures of the bush at a demonstration which has gotten very little attention in the press. if you follow the money the biggest problem we had a 1970, in 2000 is rich were paying too much money, too much taxes because that is where we spent the money. my third -- my fourth point i think the paper could have looked at other things. they saw the complete social security's solvency on the tax side unlike the other commissions, and i applaud them for putting this paper out there for the very purpose. but i do think there are other places one could look at

on a cliff above the fields and pastures, the medieval town of semur-en-auxois makes a striking impression. a natural citadel, semur further fortified itself against invaders with ramparts and 18 towers, of which 4 remain today. the mightiest is the 140-foot tour de l'orle-d'or. one of the finest churches in burgundy graces the semur skyline. the church is from the 13th century, when the gothic passion for height manifested itself in the narrow, tall, and elegant nave. rare 13th- and 14th-century stained-glass windows lend color and brilliance to this small-town church. [bell ringing] the area around semur is laced with canals. it's possible to travel around most of france by cruising some 5,000 miles of canals and rivers on a rented boat or a full-service barge. in times past, the canals were used to ship wood, stone, and wine to the people of paris. one very sweet way to explore burgundy is on a canal boat. steve adams from france afloat invited me aboard to find out how it's all done. so, most folks stay on the canals for how long? for about 7 nights-- a week starting on saturday afternoon and finishing t
