West Point Class of 1987

Many of you may remember the West Point Aloha Shirt which the USMA Class of 1987 commissioned to commemorate the Army vs. University of Hawaii football game in November 2003.  We had a great number of requests to purchase the fabric for personal use in other crafts and projects. Recently, the Class received USMA's permission to sell the remaining fabric by the yard.

Purchases can now be made online using a credit card. For those members of your organization without internet access, they can send the specifics of their order (i.e. # yards and shipping address) and a check to the following address:

Classmates and Fellow Almost Senior Citizens,

The "1987 OCWS Money Talks Fitness Challenge" came to me in a blinding flash of the obvious.

I'm at the doctor's the other day, nothing serious, just a physical to start the school year, and after they stick an insta-read thermometer in my ear, they ask me to hop up on the scale. Well, I haven't done much hopping lately, side-straddle or otherwise, but I comply to the best of my ability, and the way the dial starts spinning, I expect it to come up 7-7-7 and start spitting out tokens. When it finally comes to a rest, the number looks more like something associated with a new BMW coupe than the number of pounds that a human should weigh on Earth.

It is a quick read about Chris' border crossing to "break bread" with his Pakistani counterpart

Nice work Chris!
