Detroit Alumni,
I have some interesting info on several items for you. First, all the service academies are again joining in a giving competition this year that starts on Thursday, May 31 and goes for four days. Although the amount raised is important, the main goal is to get large participation. Navy has usually had the highest amount, but not the greatest participation. Go to ALLACADEMYCHALLENGE.COM and donate even a small amount from May 31 to June 4. GO NAVY!!
Number 2 – I like to mention the Service Academy Career Conferences every now and then because they can be so helpful to Alumni. Whenever you need one go to SACC Conference website and you will see a three year schedule of future conferences, 4 per year. If you need more info email me.
Number 3 – I think most of you have heard at one time or another about the first class in the class of ’55, I think, who all marched off the field at the last P-rade leaving their shoes on the field. Well, last week I was at the Naval Academy to present a prize for the Navy League at the awards ceremony. As part of the festivities I attended the Color P-rade, the last P-rade of the year. As the Mids marched off the guy next to me said “Look over there!”. On the ground where part of the Color Company had stood, in about a 2 yard square area, were about 10 pairs of black shoes! I loved watching a couple of mates scurrying out to pick them up.
Don’t forget dues of $20 are due now. Make check to USNAAA Detroit Chapter and send to Art Bryant at 1811 Hollywood; Grosse Pointe Woods, MI 48236.
Heads up that the next lunch is on June 11 at Beau’s in Bloomfield Hills.
BEAT ARMY!!
