Jim Crawford and all USMA 1970 Golfers

Jim Crawford and all USMA 1970 Golfers: I received this note and was asked to pass it along for those who may be interested. ---------- Graduates of West Point, I am writing to invite you to a mini-reunion and golf tournament which my father, Dan Willson (USMA 1963), and my uncle, Tyler Willson (USMA 1960) started 24 years ago. It began as a friendly challenge between two classes and has grown into a robust gathering of more than a dozen different classes and over 120 players. The "25th Annual" event is scheduled for April 18-21, 2013 in Palm Harbor, Florida (near Tampa). Attached is the "poop sheet" on the tournament and instructions on how to register. This year my father passed away while visiting me for the 4th of July and I volunteered to continue the planning for 2013's event as a tribute to my father and to the close friends and golf buddies I have met during the last 24 years of this tournament. One of the challenges I face is not having the graduate connections that my father had, so I am sending you this invite through the West-Point.org website. Thank you for taking the time to read my email. The website for the Golfing Grads of USMA is http://www.golfinggradsofusma.com but most communication is done through emails and phone calls. Sons, daughters, spouses, and significant others are also welcome to attend and play in the tournament. Rules for each day's golf event are posted on the website. The following list are the Team Captains for the upcoming year: 1959 Red Zaldo 1960 Tyler Willson 1961 Jerry White 1962 Tom Murray 1963 Dewey Lafond 1964 George Jacunski 1966 Mike Fuller 1971 Joe Albano 1973 John Rocco 1974 Mark Russell 1975 Bob Acevedo 1982 Jay Meyer 1983 Pete Martin 1989 Mike Klein 1994 Mike Long I have contact information for the Team Captains and can provide it upon request. I ask that you post on your class website or email your members details of this upcoming event. I would like to make it the best one yet. Thank you for your time, Dan Willson Jr. daniel.willson.5@us.af.mil

Flagrant Three by Carl Linke

http://www.amazon.com/Flagrant-Three-Carl-E-Linke/dp/0982742193

Elections are over. Gone are those endless ads, phone calls, signs, buttons, mail inserts and letters promoting voting for you know who. With all of that behind us, there is no better time to sit back, relax and lose yourself in a good book, a mystery thriller, my newest novel, Flagrant Three. An unspeakable kidnapping leads to a questionable suicide and murder as a vengeful psychopath plays on the fervor of March Madness for payback. Four days before his appearance in the Final Four, the country’s best college basketball player is missing, believed kidnapped from his Cinderella, small college in rural South Carolina. Without him, hopes for a championship evaporate as do the significant alumni donations tied to the national exposure. A lazy and pompous athletic director turns to Tucker McGill, his much ballyhooed bad boy assistant with a scarred past, to spearhead the search. Spurred along by his over-inquisitive love interest, Melissa Cooper, and supported by the local sheriff, PJ Beedle, the hunt sends frenzied fans to the streets around the country when mysterious messages begin to jeopardize and expose the president of the college, the NCAA, and the television sports media. Surrounded by FBI agents, the Atlanta Police Department, Aiken County deputies, and liars that have him doubting his own instincts, Tucker confronts officials as he works to unravel the motives of a mastermind with a secret past and exposes an incredible plot which has the search team hunting their own. Flagrant Three will not have you bogged down in double-dribbles or play-by-play analysis. It is a mystery thriller that drives the madness of March to a peak when it changes the “what if” to the “what now” as the clock ticks Cinderella closer to game time…or game over. Flagrant Three is available on my website ( www.carllinke.com ) and on Amazon (paperback and Kindle version.) NOTE: I have a few copies direct from the printers, which allows me the opportunity to sign all books ordered via my website. (I know, big whoop!) If you want me to write a note plus a signature, please order your book from my website and then send me an email with what you would like me to write. I am not able to sign books ordered through Amazon. A chance to beat the Black Friday crowds and the Christmas Eve rush, Flagrant Three is priced to make it a great stocking stuffer or small gift as college basketball kicks off its march to March Madness. CEL +’ PS WOMP it up! W-ord O-f –Mouth P-romotions…pass this note on to your contacts list! Word of mouth and social networks are the best forms of marketing. Please help me spread the word; let your friends know about Flagrant Three. PPS For those of you who have not read my first book, Haint Blue (for shame!), it, too, is available on my website at a reduced price.

Subject: Re: How Was the Conference?

Mrs. Williamson,
The conference was absolutely incredible! I was so impressed with the depth and real-life value of both the speeches and the corresponding discussions throughout the conference. It was truly an unforgettable experience that honed my development as a leader, as a person, and as a future manager.
I'm very much looking forward to sharing my experience with UWG AMA, SIFE, the Dean's Council of Student Leaders, and also in the presentation to the Board of Advisors in the Spring. I'm so grateful for having had the opportunity to listen to the experiences of such inspirational business leaders, being able to deliberate the topics afterwards, and then being able to personally ask questions of each of the leaders and speakers at the end. The whole experience was intimately focused on the delegates ethical growth and development and I think I could speak for all of the delegates when I say that it was genuinely an enlightening experience.
I would love to send my gratitude to our sponsor for the conference. May I please have his contact information? Hopefully, I can stop by your office tomorrow during my break in classes.
Thank you again for everything and hopefully I'll see you tomorrow!
Sarah Robinson

Whit and I have completed our hike on the Colorado Trail.  Whit had to drop out due to high altitude pulmonary edema symptoms at mile 358.  I finished the hike on the 26th of July with 468 miles.......one segment was impassable to our llamas.

 

Attached are a few photos from the trip for posting in appropriate Class information sites.  One is me at the end of the Trail, one is Whit on top of 14,000 foot San Luis Peak, and the last is Whit fording Cochetopa Creek with Howell and Sneffels, our two llamas.

Roland Carter Obit

Roland W. Carter, 64

Devoted husband, dedicated father, loving brother, loyal friend and doting grandfather, passed away Tuesday, July 24 while vacationing with his family in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Originally from Texas, Roland was a graduate of the United State Military Academy at West Point, and then served in the Army for 28 years. His assignments included time in Texas, Washington State, California, Washington D.C., Kansas, Korea, and Hawaii, where he commanded the 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment known as "The Wolfhounds." He also received a master's degree in Operations Research from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey California, and was a graduate of the United States Army War College. His many military assignments in Infantry units and the Department of the Army Staff uniquely qualified him as subject matter expert in Army matters and Operations Research. For the last 14 years he had been working for CALIBRE and rose to the position of Senior Vice President of Operations and Corporate Officer.

A man of character, he saw the very best in each of us, and got the very best from each of us as well. Roland is survived by his wife, Tree; three married sons, Larry, Van and Jordan; their wives Jeremy Maguire Carter, Kelly Williams Carter, and Kelly Redcay Greene, and two (perfect, in Roland's eyes) grandchildren, Addison and Grayson, his sister and brother in law Carolyn and Charlie Meadows and their daughter Michelle. And numerous other family members.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 4 at 10:30 at Immanuel Bible Church, Springfield, VA. Burial to be held at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project, Immanuel Bible Church, and United States Military Academy West Point, NY.

RIP, Roland W. Carter, H3, USMA 1970

Gentlemen -
 
I just received a call from Linda Young, Bob's former wife.  Last night Bob passed away due to complications from heart surgery.  Not many details are forthcoming, but Linda was able to make contact with Bob's sister, Nancy, his only remaining next of kin, to let her know.
 
This is terrible news especially right on the heels of Doug Stockton's passing.

Update from Class Support, AOG:

Senior Discounts (Not-verified)

Senior  Discounts

Keep this list - - - and Send a copy to  your senior friends and relatives.

As I was waiting  in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently, I heard him ask for his  senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When  I asked the man what the discount was, he told

me that  seniors over age 55 gets 10% off everything on the menu, every  day.

Being of 'that' age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the  discount too.

This incident prompted me to do some research, and I  came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals  and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age  requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of  them start at the young age of 50 .

This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and  family, too.
