A LETTER TO THE PARENTS

Dear Parents,
Rod and I have enjoyed our past years of service with the WPPC of Indiana. We have met so many wonderful people – parents, cadets, West Point Personnel, AOG, and folks from the other Service Academies. The memories and relationships will be remembered and cherished always. We appreciate the support and have enjoyed the activities of the Club, and know that each one of you, through your participation has helped and encouraged Indiana’s Cadets this year.
To the Class of 2007 – Welcome and we wish you the best in your new challenge!
To the Class of 2003 – You have our prayers as you face your new endeavors!
To the Classes of 2004, 2005, 2006 – Keep up the good work, finish the course!
May God bless each one of you Thank you for all you do to serve this country with your support of the Cadets at West Point.
Sincerely,
Rod and Mary Crossman
Co-Presidents, 2002-2003
