Hub (A1) '89 joins best-selling authors Dr. Warren Bennis, Jack Canfield and James Kouzes in a new book on success! Here is the press release:RICHMOND, KENTUCKY - Madison County Schools Assistant Superintendent Dr. Kevin F. Hub has written a chapter in the recently released Leading the Way to Success (http://kevinhub.com/leading.htm). In the book, Leading the Way to Success, Dr. Hub gives a logical and easy to understand explanation about the advantages of focusing on the talents and strengths of individuals. He suggests that as leaders, we should pay more attention to what we do well. By focusing on the areas in which we have natural talent, we can become better leaders and have a more positive influence on others.For more information and to order your copy today, please visit www.kevinhub.com (http://www.kevinhub.com/) or www.leadingthewaytosuccess.com (http://www.leadingthewaytosuccess.com/) .Excellent work, Kevin!

Your participation is critical to the process, and will become even more critical as we begin actively raising money for the gift. We had a total of 249 classmates take the survey -- representing approximately 25% of our graduating class. Based on the results of the survey, the Class of ’89 will be raising money for the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC). It received 49% of the class vote allocation -- recall that on the survey people allocated points across the gifts, rather than just selecting the one that they wanted. The CTC received broad support as well in that 78% of the survey participants gave at least some points towards its selection. Both of these measures were significantly higher than either of the other two gift options. It is a gift we will all be proud to present to the Academy for our 25th Reunion.

We have very few details to pass along, other than he died suddenly in the DC area either on 28 June (according to the funeral home's web site (http://www.everlyfuneralhomes.com/)) or 1 July (according to the Washington Post obituary (http://www.legacy.com/Link.asp?I=LS000113238356X)). Troy's ashes will be interned at Arlington National Cemetery with full honors later this year. In lieu of flowers donations be made to the Wounded Warriors.Just as we do for any fallen classmate, WP-ORG has established a eulogy page for Troy at http://www.west-point.org/users/usma1989/46158/ (http://www.west-point.org/users/usma1989/46158/)Please leave some thoughts and memories for his family on that site. It will bring some measure of comfort in their time of grief. News - Class of '89 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:13:55 +0100
