We had a great summer (2005) with the Operation Air
Force cadets who came to visit Offutt. Time
flies as we saw cadets with 08 in their class year.
Interesting stories on what is happening now at
USAFA and the cadets also enjoyed hearing the old
stories.

Some misdirection with the USAFA vs Navy game on 8
Oct 05. It was an omen of things to come with
the game. It was fun being out among the
grads. The first place to meet said they
couldn't get the game on their satellite. We
went to an alternate location. Sorry if anyone
following missed the game and gathering. We
had a couple of Navy guys in the audience. It
was fun as USAFA led by 10, but in the last few
minutes of the 4th quarter, Navy came back and won
by a field goal.

We gathered for an evening of fun on Thursday, 16

Illinois won in the end 78-69.

3rd Group Ops (Summer 2006) AF social social hosted
by Kristi Cummings (USAFA 96) went well even with
the 105 F temperature (we got to be indoors with
AC). Kristi's husband manned the grill.
Small group of cadets (9 total) and with the setting
being indoors, smaller environment, the entire group
was more social with each other and got to share
more stories old and new.

A great time at Indigo Joe's gathering with about 20
people for USAFA vs Tennessee in spite of a tough
loss (31-30) when USAFA wasn't able to make a
2-point conversion with 1 minute 30 seconds left in
the game. USAFA led in the 1st quarter 7-3.
By the 4th quarter, it was Tennessee 31-17.
With 3 minutes to go, USAFA came back to being just
one point behind 31-30. With 1.5 minutes left,
USAFA being one point behind Tennessee and can
either go for a tie or a win. USAFA went for a
2-point conversion and stopped.
