- Biography*: From - http://apps.westpointaog.org/Memorials/Article/8824/
Chuck was born at Twin Lakes, Idaho—which was the summer home of Judge Charles L. and Stella Smith Heitman—on 30 June 1907, the sixth of an eventual family of twelve children. He grew up in Rathdrum, a neighboring small town in northern Idaho. He was not sure of his destiny until he saw a movie about West Point. That was the place for him! The Judge finally arranged an appointment through an old friend. Chuck attended the University of Idaho for one year while awaiting entrance into the Academy. The entrance examination fortunately consisted only of high school grades, an oral and a physical exam. He was in!
Chuck was not a great athlete, although in high school he won letters in basketball and baseball. At the Academy he became manager of the wrestling squad. His most memorable feat was breaking his hip at the age of 61 while ice skating with a group of college students in the mountains of Colorado.
Chuck and Ray Brisach were roommates all four years at the Academy. The wide difference between their backgrounds strangely attracted them to each other for reasons hard to describe. Chuck the staid, mild-mannered lad from the wide open spaces of the west facing the brash, unpredictable product of the notorious Bronx of New York City nevertheless created an amalgum that was never severed.
This warm friendship was interrupted by the natural process of assignments to various stations worldwide, with only periodic path-crossings, until the year 1938-39 when both attended the Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, where the Heitman and the Brisach families got to know and be endeared to each other from then on. This was followed by two years at Fort Bragg, North Carolina from 1939 to early 1942 during which Chuck was Commanding Officer of Battery C, Ray Commanding Officer of Battery B of the 17th Field Artillery under the care and guidance of the great regimental Commanding Officer, Arch Arnold.
During those wonderful days before graduation—when each was searching for the best branch of service—Chuck had thought the Air Corps would be glamorous, so he started the required physical exam. The very first station was “depth perception.” He was told to take off his glasses and line up the two sticks connected to the strings he had in his hands. His question—“What two sticks?” ended his career in the Air Corps.
He chose Field Artillery, which in 1930 was mostly horse-drawn. He had ridden a horse as a child, learned again to ride at West Point, but had no idea how many times he would have to learn again how to ride during his career. As a second lieutenant with the 10th Field Artillery at Fort Lewis he had riding instruction. As a student at Fort Sill in 1938 he had riding instruction, this time with a classmate as instructor. Mechanization of the Army by that time had relegated horses to mere pleasure vehicles, and riding breeches, alas, faded into eventual oblivion.
Happenstance played a large part of his career. Late in 1931 he entered the Orderly Room of Battery B, 10th Field Artillery to find another officer and the battery clerk working over some papers. The question of what they were doing got the response that they were filling out an application for duty with the Gold Star Mothers in Paris the following summer. Heitman—never one to let an opportunity slip by—said “Corporal, fill one out for me too.” Chuck got the assignment, the other officer did not.
Chuck’s family was then living in Spokane, Washington, also the home of Fort Wright where classmate Paul Weyrauch was stationed. Paul too was headed for Paris and Gold Star escort duty. As long as they were to be in Europe, why not stay there, study French or Spanish and come back the following year as instructors at the Point? But it would be foolish for both to apply for the same language, so they matched. Chuck got French and Paul got Spanish. Each wrote an application to the Professor of Modern Languages before taking off for Europe.
After six delightful months in Europe, Chuck returned to Fort Lewis, but not for long. Soon orders came for duty at West Point with temporary duty in Paris for one year to study the French language. Hard to take for a young bachelor.
Another happenstance. Barbara Spoerry had graduated from the University of Nebraska and had won a scholarship to the University of Lyon, France. The Finance Officer for the military attaches was an old friend of the Spoerrys. He would be busy but could Heitman meet the young lady? No problem. Another coincidence—Barbara was born in Rathdrum where her father was Superintendent of Schools before he became a Regular Army officer. Barbara and Chuck were married in June 1935, and he escorted her to the bachelor building at West Point where he had been living for a year. At that time, due to scarcity of quarters, the bachelors were outnumbered by babies, diapers and dogs.
Delightful years at West Point. Their first-born, Tucker, the one and only daughter, arrived on 6 April 1938, which in those days was Army Day. Then on to Fort Sill for a belated course of instruction. After Sill, to the 17th Field Artillery at Fort Bragg. Then came December 1941 and in quick succession Bragg, Bianding, Selby, Fort Leavenworth, Sherman, Fort Sam Houston. Two boys were added to the family during this period, young Chuck and Bruce. At Fort Sam he joined the Artillery Section Headquarters Third Army and was with it during the European campaign.
After World War II he was ordered back to Sill for duty with the G3 Section and there the third son, Craig, joined the tribe. Then came another glamorous job—Military Intelligence School in Washington and assignment to the Military Attache office in Paris. This lasted for two years. Then somebody decided the fat should be cut from the military establishments. The Attache office was cut but fortunately the Military Assistance Program was being started so personnel were transferred to Military Assistance Advisory Group, France. Thus he was able to complete the normal tour in Paris. With his three tours m Paris he was stationed there longer than at any other station except the eight years at West Point.
After Paris, he spent a year at the Army War College at Carlisle Barracks, then two years in the Office of the Under Secretary of the Army during which the final child, Timothy arrived. A change of administration brought a chance to escape the Pentagon, and he was fortunate enough to get command of the Division Artillery at Fort Carson, Colorado. This lasted a year, and he became Chief of Staff of the Division. A year later he transferred to Tokyo for a two-year stint with the United Nations Command, later United States Forces Japan.
Chuck’s final two years of active duty were again at Fort Carson, first with the Artillery and then as Deputy Division Commander. He commanded the post for three months between generals. Chuck never got a star. During his first tour at Fort Carson he received a telegram from a pal in the Pentagon congratulating him on getting his first star. The star never arrived. His name was deleted from the list by someone higher up in the chain of command. He was always grateful to whoever was responsible for the deletion. Without the star Chuck retired in 1960 and stepped into the most attractive job one could hope to have—assistant to the City Manager of Colorado Springs. It was a natural for Chuck and he enjoyed every minute of it.
Upon his retirement Chuck and Barbara became deeply involved in a wide variety of projects rendering support of fund drives and social and recreational facilities at Fort Carson. In one drive the two of them were successful in raising over $26,000, no small sum in those days. Barbara died in 1975. She was mourned by countless friends around the world. Thereafter Chuck became devastatingly consumed by a persistent and virulent emphysema that ended on 27 February when he died in a hospital in Colorado Springs. Both Chuck and Barbara had specified that they be cremated and their ashes strewn at the summit of their beloved Pike’s Peak: Chuck’s own version of a proper epitaph was, “Chuck didn’t set the world on fire but he enjoyed life and made many friends throughout the world.”. - Birth*: Charles Lee Heitman , Jr. was born on 30 Jun 1907 at Twin Lakes, ID.
