From: "Daniel Rice" <danrice88@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2013 7:22:09 PM Subject: 'West Point Leadership: Profiles of Courage' Members of the West Point Community, We hope you have a chance to view the attached video featuring the former Superintendent Lieutenant General Franklin "Buster" Hagenbeck introducing this new book 'West Point Leadership: Profiles of Courage' Please view LTG Hagenbeck's introductory video to the book: http://www.leadershipprofilesofcourage.com/multimedia.html This inspirational book features biographies of 180 West Point graduates who have shaped our world. The entire project took over three years Most of these stories have never been told before and the book includes over 2,000 unique photographs from history. If you review the 20 authors of the book you'll find many of the thought leaders who have helped educate West Point classes over the past thirty years- retired Majors, Lieutenant Colonels, Colonels and a Brigadier General all co-authored this unique book. The book not only highlights inspirational Generals, heads of state, Medal of Honor recipients, politicians, combat leaders, but also highlights successful business leaders, scholars, coaches and athletes. In every area of the American experience- West Point graduates have proven to be outstanding leaders and are highlighted in this book for the first time. We would appreciate it if you could please forward to classmates and friends of West Point- and as always- thank you for your service. Sincerely, Dan Dan Rice USMA 1988

2013 USMA 1970 Golf Tour Information and Hawaii Football Stuff

Classmates and Friends, Sorry to be late, but hot off the press is the letter and Reservation Form for our 23rd Class Golf Tour - Carlsbad, CA September 3-8, 2013. Please review the letter and if you can attend fill out the NEW Reservation Form (a bit "busy," but hopefully self-explanatory) covering all three (3) events. Some things to remember when filling out the form: You CAN fill it out, save it as a new file with your name in the file.name and email it to me You CANNOT email me your check, or direct check-to-bank to me ... yet. But it should be here next year! Mail that in by March 15th. Put a "0" or a number in each of the yellow spaces on the Reservation Form - it does not auto-compute, yet, but in the works. Check the appropriate "Yes" and "No" boxes. Carlsbad golf, dinners, mulligans, and Class Scramble - you do NOT need to do the indicated computations on the form - unless you want to South Padre: Coming? Yes or No, and if Yes - an Arrival Date Army-Hawai'i Football in November Order football tickets (Yes or No) Plan to come (Yes or No) and Arrival Date Prefer to play golf on 1 or more days Before, After, or Both (# of days you want to play would be helpful, too, now that I think of it) I need a number of people participating on the CA Tour, and Yes/No answers on the other two. Any balance you have on account with me will be shown under account balance ("+$27" means you have $27 stored with me - A minus number means you owe more) Some of you pay more than the $150 deposit, so just write that number in. Class Scramble will be paid for on the Reservation Form this year - unless one of you wants to collect it Mulligans will be collected on the Reservation Form, also. That means you will order them, but not actually pay for them until the final bill. Again, unless you want to collect the mulligan money. I know, I'm taking too long to explain the letter, but there are a lot of things going on this year and several changes to the way we do business - bear with me. And, now that we have two grandsons you all have 50% less priority!!! If you need more info on the grandsons, I'll send you the Christmas Letter. Thanks to those of you that sent birthday wishes on Facebook - I don't visit there much (nor the networking sites), but may later on. I won't use the bully pulpit very often, but I'm getting tired of NO one taking any responsibility for ANY thing. I know why I got turned out and it was MY fault! Happy New Year!! ATTACHED FILE Jim Crawford PS: My email list is pretty much up-to-date, but if you see someone missing, either forward it to them or tell me their email address. However, I can only send to 1/2 of you at one time.
