AOG Coverage of Alumni Exercises and Distinguished Graduate Awards

Graduation Week 2016 kicked off on Tuesday, May 17 with the traditional alumni procession across diagonal walk to the statue of Sylvanus Thayer, Class of 1808. The procession was led by LTG(R) Edward Rowny ’41, the oldest graduate present, who placed a wreath at the statue’s base to honor “the father of the U.S. Military Academy.” Then returning graduates, including those from the Classes of 1941, 1946, and 1961, who returned to their alma mater for spring reunions, took their place on the Plain for the Alumni Review. Before the Corps of Cadets passed in review, LTG(R) Larry R. Jordan ’68, WPAOG Chairman, presented medals to the 2016 Distinguished Graduates who also were part of the reviewing party. This year’s Distinguished Graduate Award recipients were: Mr. Louis Gross '54, BG (R) John C. “Doc” Bahnsen Jr. '56, Mr. Joseph B. “Joe” Anderson Jr. '65, Mr. William P. Foley II '67, GEN (R) Richard A. “Dick” Cody '72, and GEN (R) Keith B. Alexander '74.  Full Story. Photos.

Class "Webmeister" Receives Special Recognition During 55th Reunion

Your Class Webmaster, Samuel Weiss, received a most surprised and much appreciated special recognition during the 55th Reunion Class Business Meeting for his many years of supporting the Class Website.

The plaque on the top of the clock referred to him as the 'Class Webmeister".  Not knowing the meaning of that term, it was looked up and the definition found was that it is "A webmaster (usually with connotations of particular skill or expertise)". It is only hoped that the years ahead continue to justify this distinction.  THANK YOU!
