Has Pete Janhunen (B2) '89 moved from the International Association of Fire Fighters to the Air Line Pilots Association? I read an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today where the 114 secretaries and other office workers rejected a tentative contract and went on strike Friday at the ALPA. The quote from the article is
The irony isn't lost on us," said Pete Janhunen, a spokesman in ALPA's national office. "We're a union, but we're also an employer."
and that sounds like something Pete would say.

In light of the recent news about the former ambassador for the Taliban, Rahmatullah Hashemi, who has been admitted as a 27 year-old freshman at Yale despite his service as a spokesman for the hated regime and his 4th-grade level education, I thought I'd highlight how West Point has done this right. Yale could learn something from our nation's oldest military academy -- go over to Afghanistan and find the best and brightest:
Yosoufzai, then a sophomore at Kabul University, wanted to follow his father's footsteps to help his country's military become more professional. He could have pursued a military academy education in Kabul where his family lives, but instead applied to West Point, which he calls the top military academy in the world.
He comes to the academy under the international cadet program designed to generate goodwill and inculcate American military ethics and values abroad. The long-running program has taken in cadets from dozens of countries, from Nigeria to Singapore to Croatia.

Monday morning a contingent from West Point to include the 2007 Vice President, Cadet Tim O’Connor, the Ring & Crest Chair, Cadet Tim Allen, Cadet Dan Fisher (nephew of one of the donors), the Class OIC, MAJ Mike McCoy ‘97 and the Class Advisor and Regimental Tactical Officer, LTC Tom Macdonald will accompany John Calabro and me to the ceremony at the Pease & Curren refinery in Warwick, RI, to melt the twelve rings that have been donated to the program. We will be joined there by two living donors and the families of three other donors. As in the past it will be a solemn ceremony. A news release is available with more details. One addition to that release is that in addition to the 12 rings donated this year I will be bringing back a sample from last year which contains some gold from every one of the 91 rings previously donated to the program. The management and staff of the Pease & Curren refinery have been full partners in this process for the past five years and have offered their services gratis. |

As a reminder as we head into the holiday shopping season, WP-ORG (the organization that hosts our class web site, e-mail list, and last year's reunion registration) has an Amazon affiliate online store that earns a commission on every purchase made through that web site. The commission comes out of Amazon's profit, so it is no extra cost to you -- and makes a great way to help support WP-ORG.

This was passed along to me and I thought it was a great video. Terry Kelly, a Canadian singer-songwriter, wrote about an experience he had when a store held two minutes of silence for veterans. Read the background and then watch the video. It's worth a few minutes of your time. |
