From: Aaron Thrush Sent Sat 10/22/2005 4:55 AM Subject: AFA/TCU on TV at 2:00 p.m. CDT Be at the Connie Kay's Flight Line Cafe at 538 N. Eglin Parkway (across from Denny's) at 2:00 p.m. CDT if you want to enjoy a huge Falcon victory Saturday afternoon. Sorry about no musings last week, but it took a while to get over the 27-24 defeat at the hand of the Navy Middies. The Falcons finally put it together for an entire game when they destroyed UNLV by a 42-7 margin last Saturday. UNLV made it somewhat easier by netting only 2 (that's right, two)
yards rushing for the game after a couple of shotgun formation snaps over their QB's head, four turnovers that included 2 fumbles after Air Force kickoffs and a total of 13 penalties for 88 yards. A disturbing statistic from the Air Force side was the fact of 5 fumbles, 3 of which were turnovers; a fourth fumble was picked up by QB Carney and taken in for the second TD of the game from within the UNLV 10 yard line. A new Falcon punter, Christopher Carp, had only one punt in the game, a 38 yard punt
with a 3 yard return. There was also a new Falcon kickoff man and UNLV had only one 16 yard return from Air Force kickoffs. Coach DeBerry and his staff obviously made some necessary changes to their special teams personnel after the Navy game. |

Wow! Great idea. Good thing it’s 5 years away. We may take that to do it right.
I’ve “played” with the capabilities you’ve listed, so I can picture getting our arms around the technical aspects.
But you’re right… success will be measured by classmate participation and contribution.
You get a gold star.

From: LES QUERRY [mailto:lesquerry@starpower.net] Thanks Ace,
It's a whole new ball game! Andi and Rosie had the idea of doing a 45th reunion CD and had sent me photos for it. I think that they wanted to send a CD because not every classmate tunes in on our website, the photo quality is so much better and the long download times are avoided. And the website's previous file space limitations only permitted rather poor picture quality. My approach would be to do both a CD and a 45th reunion photo site. If an improved photo site becomes successful, we can try albums of other submitted photographs; such as "cadet days", other reunions and "over the decades" (with some editing, of course). My more long-term objective, though, is to do a 50th Anniversary DVD to be issued at the 50-year reunion. We have an opportunity to do something that I've never heard of being done before, namely producing a class "yearsbook" 50 years after graduation to cover the period after graduation. Its like a " '60 after 50 ". Doing something like this would have previously been a horrendous and costly effort using paper photographs and text with a book to publish and mail. Nobody would have attempted it. But the DVD and digital photography make it very "doable". A DVD can hold over 50000 good quality photographs and is playable on a computer or a TV. And the cash cost is very small. The success of a project like this would depend on the degree of classmate interest in supporting it. Would they be interested enough to contribute anything? The gathering and editing of the material would be the major effort. This might seem like an overly ambitious undertaking but "gluing" it together would be a hell of a lot easier than doing a book. Here are some ideas of what the DVD could contain: 1) personal photographs and movie clips from classmates during our cadet years 2) personal photographs, movies and videos from classmates during their service years including; - photos of classmate pilots with their favorite "bird" - footage of "kills" during aerial combat - career milestone photos; promotions, retirements, meetings with presidents, etc. 3) a collection of photos and videos from all reunions and mini-reunions (skiing, luncheons, etc.) 4) videotaped statements from the class officers 5) videotaped statements from classmates 6) all of Rosie and Chris' Checkpoint articles 7) images of memorabilia 8) George Lester's classmate biographies and so on..... |

From: Les Querry Date: Thu 9/22/2005 7:39 AM Subject: Note for class website Hi Ace, Hope that things have settled down for you and are getting back to normal. I had sent the following note on 28 August and 8 Sept. with the hope of getting it on the class website. Would you add it at your earliest convenience? Les _______________________________ Class of '60: Andi and Rosie have sent me photos taken during the 45th reunion that I will put on a CD for issue to interested classmates (or other reunion attendees). We would also like to include photos taken by other attendees who think that they have photos that others might enjoy. Anyone having digital photos that they would like to contribute to the reunion CD can send them to me on a CD for inclusion in a composite CD. Its easy to make a CD of selected photos if you have a CD burner or at Costco or Wal-Mart, etc. Anyone having just a few photos that they know others would love to see can e-mail them to me in compressed form. (Preferred photo size greater than 1600x1200 pixels and file size less than 500KB.) Les Querry 371 Seltenhorst Lane Bluemont, VA 20135 540-554-2416 |

| From: Aaron Thrush Date: Wed 9/21/2005 1:53 AM Subject: You can watch the Air Force/Utah game at home this week on ESPN's Thursday night game at 6:30 p.m. CDT. As a result, Angler's won't be an option since they've found that it doesn't pay them to keep the upstairs Sports Bar open on Thursday nights. If you would like to watch the game as a group, I'll see you at Connie Kay's Flight Line Pub & Cafe at 538 N Eglin Parkway (across from Bangkok Cleaners). |

| From: Ken Alnwick kjalnwick@cox.net Subject: Third Annual Redneck Rivera Reunion Update Date: Mon 7/18/2005 7:47 AM Ace, Sorry to report that Hurricane Dennis CNX'd my plans for travel to Fort Walton Beach and the third R3 (Redneck Rivera Reunion). Should have called or e-mailed the info, but we had to scramble to save our vacation--which we did in grand style in Hilton Head S.C. I even got to see the Harbor Town light house and golf course --although I played on another. We survived the blow pretty well in FWB and hope to resched the R3 for next year. Killer (Wayne Kendall) will be back to SeaSpray in October and perhaps we can run a practice session then. I hate to say it, but as much as I love you, I was really hoping that Dennis would stay its course and smack Mobile instead of us. Oh well, maybe next year. More to follow. Cheers, Ken | |||

| From: Les Querry Subject: Air Force - Navy game, 8 October 2005, Wash. D.C. Date: Fri 7/1/2005 6:13 PM The DC '60 group will try to expand upon the activities available to those planning to attend the Air Force - Navy game in Washington on 8 October 2005. In addition to the game and the usual Lalime-Mobile at the game, we will have our 2nd DC '60 "Falcon Roosting" the day after the game on Sunday, 9 October, at our mountain home, about 1 hour west of D.C. We also plan to have a "winedown" at our home after the game for interested and available persons. The Sunday gathering will be held early afternoon to permit late travel on Sunday. This will provide additional activities for classmates who have come some distance for the game and an opportunity to meet many more classmates since not everyone goes to the game. Other activities can expand back into Friday and forward into Monday for those interested, possibly for Udvar-Hazy Air and Space museum visits, golf matches, other museum visits, etc.. Gerry de la Cruz is a docent at the National Gallery of Art and has offered to give a guided tour to interested persons. If you are planning on visiting the DC area during 8-9 October and wish to attend events other than the game, please let us know. Notice: DC '60 is in no way trying to compete with CS '60 with their marvelous handling of events surrounding the Army and Navy games held at USAFA. They are Nulli-Secundus. We only want to make the visit here a little more eventful for classmates traveling to the local Navy game (and get to see them a little bit longer). Les Querry '60 lesquerry@starpower.net |
