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
