About Bill Taylor
Expertise
I can answer questions about admissions to West Point; about the history of West Point; about how to travel to West Point, where to eat, where to stay, etc.; and about West Point`s alumni organization, the West Point Association of Graduates.
Experience
I am a 1970 Graduate of West Point. I served six years on active duty and another 8 years in the active reserve. I have been actively involved as a Field Admissions Representative for over 15 years and have participated on my Congressman's Academy Selection Panel for over 20 years. I am actively involved in West Point Alumni affairs, serving in roles both with the West Point Association of Graduates and the local alumni chapter in Annapolis, MD. I also have two sons who graduated from West Point in 1995 and 2001. Both are veterans of the Iraq war and continue to serve on Active Duty in the Army.

Question
Curious...if Robert E Lee graduated 2nd in his class at West Point in 1829, who graduated first?
Answer
Hi, Janet, it's good to hear from you. Thanks for your interest in West Point. I apologize for the delayed response as I have been traveling extensively.
Charles Mason graduated first in the Class of 1829. Robert E Lee graduated second, as you know. The follow-up question often asked is, "Was Lee a close second?" The answer is, NO. It wasn't close.
Thanks for the question.
Best Regards,
Bill Taylor
