Fellow Graduates and Parents of Cadets and Midshipmen, 

Thanks to your generosity, we have achieved the $65,000 goal of
WP-ORG's eighth fundraising drive in just 42 days.

FD VIII will formally end at the close of business today. Members
wishing to contribute to FD VIII can still make a difference to WP-ORG
and have an impact on the total of their affiliated group...but today
is the last day to do it.

To donate, please visit our secure credit card site:

            httpS://www-secure.west-point.org/online/pay/1,1261,2,00.html

or mail your check payable to "WP-ORG" to

            WP-ORG
            P.O. Box 2108
            Abingdon, VA 24212-2108

The advisors had significant help with this fund raiser. We were
guided by a committee headed by Bill MacLean with a handful of 
parent moderators and other advisors. Thanks to them for their hard
work on weekly messages to help all of our members better understand
what WP-ORG is and what it does for our community of parents and
graduates.

Our special thanks to you, our financial supporters who make 
WP-ORG's services possible. The advisors will do their best to wisely
monitor and husband the resources you've provided to sustain our
capability during the next half year. 

On behalf of the advisors and the more than 100 list moderators of
WP-ORG, thank you.

This past week has been especially hard on the advisors. We ask for
your prayers for our advisor Dick Breakiron '51 and his family as 
he combats his 2d recent cancer surgery and watches over his wife
Joyce who is in a terminal coma following a severe fall in the last
few days. 

            Grip hands with us now though we see not,
            Grip hands with us, strengthen our hearts.

            As the long line stiffens and straightens
            With the thrill that your presence imparts.

            Grip hands tho' it be from the shadows.
            While we swear, as you did of yore.

            Or living, or dying, to honor
            The Corps, and the Corps, and the Corps.


Bob Magruder '64
