Published: Saturday, May 03, 2008 LOWER TOWNSHIP - You would figure a link between Villas and the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point would have to come with a few strange twists, and
this one sure does.
Brig. Gen. Michael Linnington, a native of Lower Township, Cape May County,
who next week will become commandant of the country's top training ground for
young soldiers, almost followed a different path.

Completion of Fund Drive 23
To all members of WP-ORG,
On behalf of all the WP-ORG advisors, moderators, and tireless volunteers, I am delighted to announce that FD23 has been
successfully completed and WP-ORG's operations are fully funded for the next six months. We achieved our $107,438 goal in 26 days! Thank you! Any donations that continue to be received by mail will be credited
toward FD24.
I'd like to thank everyone who made the effort to contribute. In addition, we are grateful to those who continue to donate countless hours of their valuable time. These long hours are a donation equally as important and valuable as money. Without either, WP-ORG would not exist.
The fund drive is complete. As they once said in the classrooms of West Point, "Cease Work!"  For now, please put your wallets and checkbooks away.
The final Donation Report may be seen at:
In addition to donation reports, we archive for each fund drive daily tallies, charts and tables comparing performance measures of current and past drives, and additional data which you may find of interest:
FD23 has been a great success. Once again, thank you!

Pacific edition, Tuesday, March, 25, 2008 “I had a normal artillery career, until now,” said Haynes, a graduate of the
United States Military Academy in 1994. Now, Haynes’ major job is to be
around when people need him. Japanese officers
stop by his office to ask for help with translation, to update him on
meeting other foreign dignitaries, and often to invite him to
after-work parties. “His door is always open,” said Chiba, the Japanese
general. “We can work with him in our perspective. It is great.” |
The Black Knights are led by Olympic air rifle qualifier Steven Scherer and World Cup participant Chris Abalo. Last

cadet to compete at the Olympics since 1960, and the 86th West Pointer
dating back to 1912. Read More...

... To remind the world of what an impact the U.S. Military
Academy had on the early days of space exploration, the West
Point Association of Graduates has invested heavily in the
courtyard of the new building housing the Saturn V at the
U.S. Space & Rocket Center. The association bought
bricks - at $100 a pop - and had the names of those
noteworthy graduates etched on each. The association also bought an eight-inch square tile for
$1,000 that reads, "West Point Pioneers in Space
Exploration." The bricks are being set in the courtyard
this week to prepare for the grand opening of the Davidson
Center for Space Exploration next week, which coincides with
the 50th anniversary of the Explorer I satellite being
launched into space.
