LTC Stephen F. Damn I am old. Darryl and I were TAC Officers together. He was the man. Former Army football player, and a very humble and exceptional leader. I believe, he is also the 1st African American to be selected for that post. Hooah.

Thanks for responding COL Charles Williams and letting us know that you were TAC officers with Daryl A Williams.
My classmates from USMA class of 1980s were discussing him - he was a Plebe when we were Firsties :-)
When I was researching him, I came across LTG Daryl K. Williams who now commands DLA. In 2002 when I was assigned to the HQDA G--4 planning cell, Daryl K. Williams was read on for the OIF plan and was obviously tagged for greater things.

LTC Stephen F. - Well, I just know as a Young TAC, Darryl was the example we all wanted to be like. Professional, humble, and just what right looked like. Man, we are getting old.
