\nClassmates,\n<\/div>\n
\nHope you are having a great Easter Holiday and a pleasant Spring.\n<\/div>\n
\nYour Class skiers have put away their skis for another year and our Golfers
\nare dusting off their clubs. Let's pray for a healthy and successful year and
\nplease remember our Classmates and Wives who are fighting some serious
\nillnesses. We hope to have all of them back for our 50th Reunion in two
\nyears!\n<\/div>\n
\nThis is a busy note and most important – seems that we get busier and
\nbusier as each year goes by.\n<\/div>\n
\nRecommend you print this message and save.\n<\/div>\n
\nHere goes:\n<\/div>\n

  1. Class Reunion: Scheduled for 16-21 May of 2014 (Friday-Wednesday). The
    \n\treunion culminates with the "Old Grad" Parade to Thayer Monument and lunch in
    \n\tthe Mess Hall on Tuesday the 20th. Some of us (all are invited) will stick
    \n\taround for Graduation activities for the Class of 2014 (our 50 Year Affiliate)
    \n\tthe rest of the week. For starters, as we decided at our last reunion, we have
    \n\tarranged for a reunion coordinator to handle future reunions. The AOG is now
    \n\tproviding this function. We will provide guidance and they will take care of
    \n\teverything. It is important to start this because the day is coming when we will
    \n\tno longer be able to handle these chores. If you recall at our last Class
    \n\tmeeting we decided that it is also important to get the Class in one facility
    \n\tfor the 50th. We will need over 200 rooms and a large ballroom to fit about 400+
    \n\tfolks. For this, I have been working with the management of the Crowne Plaza in
    \n\tSuffern, NY. You may recall the old Holidome (35th and 25th(?)). The Holidome
    \n\twas gutted and reopened last year as a Crowne Plaza. You will not recognize the
    \n\tplace. Some of your committee have checked it out and I have put an
    \n\tunbinding hold on the dates of our reunion. FYI – all other hotels that can
    \n\thandle our Class size are another 20-30 minutes away from West Point. Check out
    \n\twww.cpsuffernhotel.com<\/span><\/a><\/span>. A number of you have asked to
    \n\thave a trip to New York City to visit the World Trade Center and the Intrepid
    \n\tMuseum. We will probably schedule these for Friday or Saturday of the reunion.
    \n\tIn addition to the reunion, Classmates are working on a cruise and golfing
    \n\tevents before and after the reunion. \n\t<\/li>\n
  2. 50 Year Affiliate Program with the Class of 2014. Tom Kullman has and is
    \n\tdoing a superb job of planning and coordinating this effort. We have two
    \n\tupcoming events: <\/p>\n
