This is my Grandfather,Col Kossie Akins


Colonel Army Corp of Engineers


With his lovely bride, my grandmother.

He was excellent at math, Jeopardy, had an amazing memory for history, events, people, names, and geography. In later years I realized he had a pretty good sense of humor, and as evidenced by this photo, he could get a pretty impressive tan!!
