Here’s my shamefully late reporting of updates that classmates have sent me over the past year. If anyone wants to send another update to get everyone current, I’ll post it on-time, free of charge.
Class of 99-er Sean Mattingly sent me this a quite a while ago, and I lost it until just recently. Some of you may have heard about a “drug sting” at USMA in April of 2006. Apparently, the BTO announced that there would be a Corps-wide fire drill the next day early in the morning. Once everyone was out of the barracks, he sent in K9 units from local law enforcement agencies. This heated up the Corps pretty good, and that night a “riot” ensued. Seems to me like we used to call them Spirit Rallies when we were there.
Over Memorial Day Weekend this year, my wife and I took a trip back to West Point for our friends’ wedding. We met this couple through mutual acquaintances who knew I graduated from West Point, and we “took them on” with the intent of being mentors as he left for West Point and she started at a local university. We became good friends with them over the years, and lo and behold, they managed to join the 2% club and get married the day after graduation. My wife was a maid of honor in their wedding, and I tagged along as an obnoxious quasi-photographer getting in everyone’s way.
