Beloved Classmates, RIP

On May 21, COL (R) Wayne Murphy, Fundraising Chairman, and Mr. Mike McGovern, Class President, presented two checks to WPAOG on behalf of the Class of 1969 for a
total of $2,275,000 in support of the Simon Center for Professional Military Ethic, the Cyber Research Center, and the Long Gray Line Endowment. Not only did 436
Class of 1969 graduates come to West Point to celebrate their 50th Reunion, but the class allocated $50,000 of their gift to the Long Gray Line Endowment to commemorate
WPAOG's 150th Anniversary. Thank you to the Class of 1969 for their tremendous support! (West Point Magazine, Summer 2019)

"Go to maps.google.com Use the search bar (upper left) to look for West Point NY. Zoom in a bit. Now a bit more. Pick up the little guy in the lower left [or right] hand corner. Available street view places will show up as dark lines overlaid on the map. Drop the little guy on the place you want to go. It’s a pretty neat feature. I use street view frequently to recon routes to new restaurants, take pictures of relevant buildings for reports at work, or show friends where I used to live. The detailed views of USMA are a great addition."

"I'm Mister Gung Ho,
I get a dress-off wherever I go!
I shine my B-plate up, write my classmate up!
I go to chapel TWICE on Sunday!
I believe in the Haze, before I go to bed I say 'The Days!'
My tac thinks I'm strac 'cause by girlfriend's a WAC
I'm at West Point, I'm Mr. Gung Ho!"

(as remembered by Jerry Morelock, USMA '69)
