West Point Class of 1989

Dale Henderson and Warren Hearnes were some of the USMA grads who attended the annual Institute for Operations Research and Management Science
(INFORMS) conference in San Francisco in November.  Dale presented
an interactive session on his research into techniques for solving a
temperature estimation model.  Warren spoke, for the third consecutive year, on a panel advising
doctoral students who are planning to pursue a career in
industry.  USMA sent nine cadets to participate as well a number
of professors from the Department of Systems Engineering.

This was passed along to me and I thought it was a great video.  Terry Kelly, a Canadian singer-songwriter, wrote about an experience he had when a store held two minutes of silence for veterans.  Read the background and then watch the video.  It’s worth a few minutes of your time.
