Army - NAvy FootbAll rAlly -- Dec 3rD At ANcc

This year’s Army - Navy Rally will take place on On Wednesday, December 3rd at the Army - Navy Country Club. Activities begain at 11 am with a “Social Mixer”. At 11:55 luncheon chimes will sound and all are asked to be seated by noon, when the luncheon will begin. Time is a bit tight as remarks, some quite partisan, will begin at 12:25 pm.

Come on out and raise your voice with fellow graduates shouting “BEAT NAVY!” Remember, our yearly rallies are the time to show your loyalty to an Army team that has begun to surprise people under the tutelage of second year head coach, Stan Brock.

Two years ago we arranged to have the Army-Navy Club reconfigured for our event, freeing up additional space for luncheon attendees. This has worked out well, but we are limited to a max of 225 attendees -- so make your reservations early. Let’s get as many as possible to the club and pack

the place!

Invited guests include both Service Secre-taries and Service Chiefs, and former football greats. Presentations, usually spirited, will be followed by the cheerleaders from each Acad-emy revving us up for the the game!

This year Army is hosting the program and our Bob Novogratz ‘59 has been hard at work with his Middie counterpart (Jim Bryant, USNA ‘71) to assure that the rally will be a memorable one -- to be followed by an Army victory on Saturday.

A flyer, containing more information on the gala is included with this newsletter and also found on our website in case you cannot locate the newsletter when you need it.

Procedures remain the same as quarterly lun-cheons (except for the location at ANCC). Seat-ing will be with your Academy classmates un-less otherwise requested. If a single class does not fill an entire table, members will be seated with an adjacent Academy class group.

Don’t wait to send in your reservation. You can do this either by mail, using the enclosed envelope, or online on our website at www.wpsdc.org. BEAT NAVY!!!

“Remarkable architecture lies on the boundary, along the outer edge, of what language and drawings can communicate. The crea on of memorable buildings does not lie in a common central ground, but along the periphery, depic ng dis nc ve opportuni es di cult to imagine un l they are illustrated and built.”

“Je erson Hall is Hardy Holzman Pfei er Associates’ rst Army Corps of Engineers project at West Point. Today, our team’s desire to preserve the academy’s personality while crea ng a new structure is as strong as that of the celebrated architectural rm of Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson when they completed their rst federal government project at West Point almost a century ago.”

“Cadets are made to feel as if the building ts in and belongs and that they entered into a repository where the surroundings complement the uniform and are compa ble with the environment.”

“Recalling the past yet looking to the future, the design of Je erson Hall realizes both what I saw in my mind’s eye as well as the though ul, energe c contribu ons of others. Eventually, as cadets begin to use the library’s new resources, our design vision will become as visible as Whistler’s fog.”

The Architect’s Vision ...— Malcolm Holzman, Architect

“There was no fog in London before Whistler painted it.”

On September 24th West Point new li-brary was dedicated in honor of our third president.

N o s t ran ge r to books, Thomas Jeffer-son once confessed, “I cannot live without books.”

At his home, Mon-ticello, Thomas Jefferson amassed the largest private library in the Western Hemisphere and after the British burned the original Library of Congress during the War of 1812, the federal government acquired 6,707 volumes from Jef-ferson’s collection.

Thomas Jefferson Hall provides access to over 440,000 books and more than 50,000 periodi-cals, and will serve as a nexus of learning that includes the Centers for Teaching Excellence and Enhanced Performance. This building is a tribute not only to The Long Gray Line of soldier-scholars but also to the success of Jefferson’s original vision. It will long play a vital role in West Point’s mission to educate, train, and inspire the future leaders of America’s Army.

Situated on the southern end of the Plain (see photo below), the Jefferson Library, the building seeks to “bring old and new concepts of officer-ship into harmony”.

Guest speaker at the dedication was the retir-ing VCSA, GEN Richard S. Cody ‘71.

FAll luNcheoN heArs AmbAssADor Dell DAiley ‘71said that he would tell us what he could in response and let us know when he could not get into specifics. His Q&A was one of the best seen at a luncheon in many years. Unhurried, he answered questions on the intelligence situation, the inter-relationships of the various or-ganizations that work together in it, and ended with an opti-mistic picture that parties are working together to integrate information.

We left the luncheon with a broader knowledge of the threats we face and our nation’s resolve to combat them.

Ambassador Dell Dailey ‘71 came to our October luncheon set on describing his responsibilities in as few words as possible, and then opening up the floor to ques-tions -- for as long as the audi-ence wished.

He provided a clear expla-nation of the various levels of terrorist activities that face our nation and the world; then he explained the role of many organizations that work together to identify these threats and organize to defeat them.

He welcomed questions,

Fellow graduates and friends finished the sum-mer with a Nationals games at a discounted $10 price on September 19, 2008 against the Florida Marlins. Many took advantage of this offer by the Nationals organization as gratitude to our West Point Society members for their continuing support of our hometown team. Look for more exciting games when the season commences again next year.

Our final few events for the year include a lun-cheon at Barboursville Vineyards near Charlot-tesville, VA. This five star restaurant has offered the entire restaurant for our lunch event and tasting with its award winning wines and highly praised cuisine.

Look forward to cheering on our Army team as they beat Air Force on 1 November. The Penn Quarter Sports Tavern in Washington, DC will host this event. The management has already arranged for a private viewing area and food and drink specials.

As we look forward to next year, grads can also expect an end of year happy hour at a location to be determined.

For more details on Young Grad events or how to get involved, please contact Richard Huh '94, or [email protected]. Check back to the DC Area West Point Society website (www.wpsdc.org) for pictures and information on future events.

Army eDges NAvy 13-8 iN 14th A-N golF by Dave RogeRs ‘74

Continuing the tradition started many years ago in this Chapter, The West Point Society of DC and the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni As-sociation, Great Washington Chapter took to the friendly field of strife for our annual inter-service exercise. Blessed with perfect weather and the wonderful condition of the Courses at Andrews AFB, there would be “no excuse, sir” for a less than outstanding performance by the assembled Rabble. And they did not disappoint!

Over 100 golfers (50-50 split between Army and Navy, this year) gathered on the East Course. (A picture of the group, deforming the putting green in front of the clubhouse, is on page 6. More photos are on the chapter’s website.) RADM (Ret) Steve Kunkle (USNA ’73) did a great job in getting his men on the field and digging up willing vendors to support the event. (All players received a free membership to Top Golf, a $100 gift certificate to GOLFDOM, a 20% off certificate for Washington Golf and a competing school’s logo ball to toss into the Potomac.)

The USNAAAGWC (typical Navy acronym…) graciously provided two wonderful ladies to assist with registration, sign-in, and herding of the sheep. Our chapter’s Paul Kelly ’62 and his bride, Annel, also pitched in, to ensure that the event ran smoothly. On behalf of the Board, our appreciation and KUDOs to the players and supporting cast for making the outing a success.

This year’s event included 21 matches, played as 2-man low ball/low total competition. (Four of the matches turned into non-competi-tion rounds, at the request of the players.) As noted, above, Army won 13 of those contested matches to Navy’s 8. All but one of the games were hard fought contests, with at least 4 of the matches literally being decided by the last stroke on the last hole.

Strangely, enough, Navy won all of the other

“games.” (Long drive, closest to the flag, and the 50-50 drawing.) On a better note, however, the winner of the drawing for two tickets to the Army-Navy football game really came through. Eric Squires (guest of Wally Putkowski ’87) is a former Air Force serviceman and requested that his tickets be donated to the wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center!

The West Point Alumni Glee Club, Washington Chapter, entertained us with a few songs from the days when giants walked the Plain. Once again, the “Armed Forces Medley” brought the house down at the clubhouse. Our squidly guests were more than slightly amazed as the Alumni Glee Club led them in “Navy Blue and Gold.” But, the best part of the evening was having the pleasure of finishing the evening with “The Alma Mater” and a resound-ing “BEAT NAVY!”

Most notably, after all the bills were paid, the event netted $3,600, which was split 50-50 be-tween the two Alumni chapters. LTG (Ret) Joe DeFrancisco had the pleasure of sending Navy’s portion of the winnings, along with a gentlemanly condolence letter to his counterpart at the US-NAAAGWC. Hooah!

We very much appreciate the support you’ve continued to show the chapter in our efforts to raise funds for the respective Academies’ use in sup-porting cadet and midshipperson activities over the years. If your firm (or you, as an individual) would like to be a friend, sponsor or co-sponsor of next year’s event, please let me know ([email protected]) and I’ll explain how we provide that sup-port. I’d be more than happy to help you help us help them.

Our thanks, in advance, for your support next year. More information on the 2009 dates for the Black, Gold, Gray (Spring) and 15th Annual Army-Navy (Fall) outing will be coming in the next newsletter.

Best regards, and GO ARMY – BEAT NAVY! (again, and again, and again…)

ADmissioNs report by LTc MichaeL PeffeRs ’82

The National Capitol Region Admissions Team has been very busy this Fall representing West Point at: local High School and County College Nights, the National Youth Leadership Forums (NYLF), a Candidate by-Invite, and a Minority Outreach event. Our two biggest County College Nights occurred on October 19th at Fair Oaks Mall for northern Fairfax County with COL (Ret.) Mc-Cann serving as OIC. On October 20th the southern half of Fairfax held their college night at Hayfield HS with MG (ret.) Larry Adair serving as OIC. At the four NYLF events LTC Maurice Williams repre-sented USMA on the Defense panel. He is served as the G-3 for the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq and is currently the Military Intelligence Branch Chief. In November several USMA graduates will serve on local Congressional Nomination Boards to ensure we assist our local Congressman in selecting the best qualified candidates for the Class of 2013. On December 14th we will host our Christmas brunch for those candidates selected by the Admissions

Office as the tip-tiered candidates.

USMA conducts the Summer Leaders Semi-nar (SLS) for academically gifted high school juniors going into their senior year. The SLS is a weeklong program of academic workshops, military training, physical fitness training and intramural athletics. Only 800 highly talented high school juniors going into their senior year are invited to attend the SLS each year. The SLS is normally conducted in the first and second week of June. High school students who par-ticipate in the SLS are led and supervised by West Point cadets. If you know of any talented high school junior, the application window for the 2009 Summer Leaders Seminar will be mid-December, 2008 through April 1, 2009. Please go to http://admissions.usma.edu/MoreInfo/summer.cfm for more detailed information about this great program showcasing our alma mater.

West poiNt pAreNts club by John ’75 and denise MitchaM, co-Presidents

It has been a very busy yet enjoyable fall season for the West Point Parents Club of MD-DC-VA. The Academy sports programs have brought us local competitions in soccer, crew, sprint football, and of course the Army 10-miler. This last event is particularly enjoyable because we join camps with the WPSDC to support our Cadet and Old Grad runners with a HOOAH tent and food. Our efforts must have inspired the West Point Marathon Team this year because they won their division. We want to share that win with our WPSDC sponsors. Thank you for our partnership to promote cadet victories!

Meanwhile, our club has continued to support the graduating class with the exclusive sale of a class crest afghan to the parents of the graduat-ing firsties. This year the club coordinated with Colonel Craig Flowers, the Director of Cadet Ac-tivities, to deliver and sell the afghans at Ike Hall on Ring Weekend. Last year our club deposited over $18,000 to the Class Fund of 2008 from our sales. This year we have sold over 900 afghans which should beat last year’s record. All of the proceeds of this exclusive sale go directly into the class fund for the graduating class. Thanks to Connie Smith and Darlene Bates, as well as, Jane Atwell and other club members, the Class of 2009 will be well on their way to substantially funding their class fund. Furthermore, by the time you read this news article, the Class of 2009 will have made branch selections. At print time, I did not have the class’ statistics but the class will have met a second major milestone. In Sep-tember they received their class rings, and on November 2nd, they received their branch assign-ments that dictated where they would receive their first Army training following graduation and how they would spend their time on active duty. For some, it also dictated if they would be required to spend at least five or possibly eight years on initial active duty.

By comparison to this year’s class, last year’s class of 2008 had fifty-four young men decide that they wanted Infantry branch enough to commit to an additional three years of man-datory active duty to receive it. Others made

the offer but were allocated to other branches. Meanwhile, 83% of the class received their first choice of branch and an unbelievable 97% re-ceived one of their top three choices. Although some branches with smaller allocations closed out early [Medical Service (25 slots), Military Intelligence (70) and Finance (6)], Infantry was the first of the branches with large allocations to close out! The Queen of Battle not only was the first branch selected (actually, the first four mem-bers of the Class of 2008 by order of merit selected Infantry) and closed out first at sequence number 874 (including the 54 extensions of active duty for branch choice previously mentioned), but it netted 216 members of the class, nearly twice that of the second most populous branch, the Engineers at 130 slots (and they often fight as Infantry as well, as do many lieutenants in other branches in the Global War on Terror). Aviation (102 slots, including 19 offering additional active duty time) closed next at sequence number 931 and Engineers (130, including 28 offering ad-ditional active duty time) at 940.

Finally this fall, on December 27th, at the McLean Hilton, our WPPC will co-host the Joint Service Academies Ball (JSAB). This event brings together cadets and midshipmen, their families and friends, from the five Service Academies. It is our only time to gather together with our young men and women from all the services in common purpose. The JSAB offers a chance for parents to swap stories (brags) and for cadets and midship-men to commingle with contemporaries. The JSAB has all the trimmings of a military formal and will include the Old Guard and of course the traditional toasts. This great event is made possible through a generous donation from the WPSDC to help defray the cost for our Cadets attending the JSAB.

I invite the members of the WPSDC to visit our club website at www.wppc-mddcva.org for in-formation about us and the partnership we have with the WPSDC and the Academy. Anytime you see cadets in town, we are probably nearby, so please come out and join the team.

Annually since 2005, our West Point Society of D.C. has been hosting a nationwide job fair ex-clusively for West Point graduates. Our next West Point Job Fair will be held on December 11, 2008 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Army Navy Country Club at 1700 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, VA 22202; www.ancc.org. If you are seeking civilian employment, you are encouraged to freely attend this job fair.

The feedback that we have received from previ-ous job fairs, both from fellow alumni and employ-ers alike, has been nothing short of outstanding! Our grads have expressed appreciation for the Society holding a job fair just for them. And the participating employers have raved about the quality of candidates that they have met.

Over the last three years, fellow alumni from around the country have attended, mainly tran-sitioning officers at the ranks of Captain to Colo-nel. This job fair has also attracted a significant number of graduates who are between jobs in the civilian sector. Participating employers like knowing they'll be interviewing only West Point-ers and understand that they will be meeting very

talented individuals with a wide array of mili-tary leadership skills and experience, ranging from junior officers to general officers.

Up to 33 companies and government agen-cies will be participating in the December 11th job fair. All previous West Point Job Fairs have sold out and we're expecting the same result this year. If you work for a company that is seek-ing some great talent to help fill its ranks, we would appreciate letting your Human Resources office know about this first-class recruiting op-portunity. To obtain additional information and an invitation to exhibit, they should send e-mail to [email protected].

The West Point Job Fair represents a win-win-win! Our fellow alumni get the opportunity to meet face-to-face with top-notch companies, the companies get the opportunity to hire some of the best talent on the market, and the United States Corps of Cadets benefits from the significant financial support derived from the proceeds of this job fair.

We hope to see you on December 11th. Go Army . . . Beat Navy!
