Class of ‘70, VMI

BR’s:

The following class notes were supposed to appear in the last edition of the Alumni Review. I was told they will be published in the next Review but that’s another 3 months past our reunion.

Hope everybody had a happy holiday. I’m looking forward to a great year in 2006 both personally (another year closer to retirement) and for VMI. Substantial improvement in our football and basketball programs are just around the corner and I think we will see the beginning of the turn around in ‘06. Please keep the faith - we will be better!!

Thanks to David (Beast) Payne and George Ritko, there are some new Reunion pictures in the Friday Party and Saturday Parade Sections. Thanks, guys!

LEXINGTON, Va., Jan. 16, 2006 - The members of the VMI Corps of Cadets endured rain and cold to honor Virginia’s new governor during his inauguration Saturday in Williamsburg.

Check this link for more information and some very nice pictures.

from RLaneBurgh’s VMI Cyber Corps:

The Corps of Cadets has been invited to the Inaugural Parade on Saturday, 14 January in Williamsburg, Virginia. VMI will be the lead unit in the parade as in 2002. The VMI Corps of Cadets is by far the largest element (1,000+) in the parade of approximately 4,500 to 5,000 total participants.

More information about the Inaugural events can be found at:

A number of our BR’s have written me about obtaining the 35th Reunion shirts (mostly from people who did not attend or forgot the size of their spouses). I think I can do it for about $30 each plus postage (any profit will go to our class fund). I probably need at least 10 or 12 orders to make it worthwhile.

If someone is interested, please contact me directly by email to k2j2(at)earthlink(dot)net or phone at 434 973 8189. (Replace the words with the proper symbols in my email link before sending.)

Thanks,
