Our monthly luncheon will be held at 11:30 Wednesday 8 February at the Salt Grass Restaurant located at 10614 Research Blvd. Our co-speakers will be Chris Hale and LTC William Haenn USA (Ret.). Mr. Hale practices law in Austin and is the owner of Col. George Patton's quarters at Ft. Clark. He is also the father of a USNA graduate. Colonel Haenn is the father of a USMA graduate and authored the books entitled Fort Clark and Bracketville.
The topic of their lecture will be on the history of Ft. Clark, a former U.S. Army post (1852-1946) located between Uvalde and Del Rio. The discussion should prove to be both fascinating and entertaining. Ft. Clark was an active post for almost a century from the Indian War through WW II when it served as a training base for the U.S. 2nd Cavalry Division and was also the location of a German POW camp.
Look forward to seeing you there. |

You are invited to join the West Point Society at a fun and unique happy hour event. Mike McGovern (95) has started a great craft brewery here called Austin Beerworks . We will get a brief tour and tasting session.

if you plan to attend. I'd like to give Mike a good headcount.
Costs: Each person pays $10 for a pint glass (you get to keep it) that can then be used to sample the four brands, or a "pint or two" as Mike described it.
Unfortunately, he can't sell six packs or cases from the brewery. Might be good idea to bring cash and debit/credit card to be safe. |
