Greetings from West Point! We're closing in on our 45th Reunion!!! I will have more information coming out in the next week, but for now let me mention a few hot items: 1. Dress for the Reunion - same as last time. Call it Business Casual. For the guys, I would recommend khakis (similar trou) and golf shirts for all events. For the Parade we'll wear khakis, our reunion golf shirt and reunion baseball cap. For the gals, something similar. It has been very hot at West Point and it will probably continue through the reunion. I would recommend bringing along a foldable umbrella; NY has had an exceptional amount of rain this summer. 2. Name tags - will be similar to last time (big letters!). The only problem is that about half of our attendees did not fill out the reunion request properly for how you want your name (spouse, etc) printed on the name tags. Hopefully you made a copy of your reunion sign up response. If you didn't and are not sure of what you put down, please send me and Max Johnson (

) exactly what you want on the nametag. Max is helping with our reunion response spreadsheet. If we get nothing, your name will appear as it is in the Ward Book. 3. Hotels - this has been a tough year for hotel rooms. Skip and Judy Roberts have worked hundreds of hours sorting through requests and handling space problems at our reunion hotels. The bulk of our Classmates are staying at the Thayer, the Fort Montgomery Holiday Inn and the Econo Lodge (revamped Palisades Motel) on 9W. We will have shuttle bus service to help get everyone around. 4. Hotel Cancellations - If you have to cancel out of the reunion, PLEASE DO NOT call the hotel and cancel your reservation. PLEASE call or e-mail Skip Roberts and let him do this for you. We will make sure that you are not charged. Skip can be reached at:
