West Point Reunion
The alarm goes off at 9:30. We have
a luncheon at West Point from 11-1pm. Thank goodness we don’t get too
lost and we make it to Ike Hall at noon. After checking in, I get a
glimpse of our good friends. We’re here, together again, after 35 yrs.
Steve & Patty Furst, Russ Killebrew & fiance’ Nita, Angie &
Tom Wallace, JB & Linda, Dave Blackledge & wife, Rick Cantwell,
and Mike Pickney. While the food is marginal, the hugs and
conversations are priceless. For the next two days, we’ll play
catch-up. After the superintendent’s briefing about how hard the cadets
have it (the Corps has), we hike over to the Cadet Store and the new
library.

Our class dedicated the new 1 million dollar outdoor terrace on the 6th floor of the library. There is a magnificent view of the plain, Trophy Point and the Hudson from this location.

We then get coffee at the shop on
the first floor and see Steve’s graduation photo in a display case as part of a tribute to
his class. It was one of several photos that made up
the number 75. (I’m now remembering we wanted to go back and get
it—darn that memory). Then, we were off to Ike Hall for dinner. At
the class memorial at the cemetery (which we did not attend) a classmate
donated $10,000 for drinks at dinner. Dinner was great. We got to see
and visit with more classmates. We eventually made it back to the
hotel at 11 pm and set the alarm for 6:30.
