From: bill.chavez@comcast.net Subject: 2013 Golf Outing Video Gents, First, another resounding "Thanks!" to Pete and Satch for all their work in setting up and pulling off yet another great outing. It was a real pleasure seeing all of you again and we continue to lament the fact that too many could not make it. It sounds like we will try next spring's outing right here in Houston. It should also be a great one and I hope the turnout is even better. In the meantime, take a look at last week's video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuBVN1EXvxc&feature=youtube_gdata Best regards and still trying to be eager...but never obnoxiously, ...Willie

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
