Added "Classmate Causes"

During the ramp up for the 40th Reunion, we received a lot of requests to host Military Related "Classmate-Involved-With" Causes.  I have added a link to these on the main page:  Classmate Causes.

COL Dave Allbee to Retire 27 May 2011

COL David C. Allbee ’70 , Professor, USMA, and Head of the Department of Chemistry and Life Science retires on May 31, 2011 after 41 years of distinguished service to the Army and West Point. He retires as the Army’s senior Colonel and will be promoted to Brigadier General, as is tradition for all retiring Department Heads. As every cadet must take chemistry, COL Allbee saw over 24,000 cadets pass through Bartlett Hall during his time at West Point! And during his twenty-year tenure on the Admissions Committee (nine as Chairman), 35% of the Long Gray Line was admitted to the Academy. COL Allbee has surely made an indelible mark upon West Point, the Corps of Cadets, and the U.S. Army.
