Still
basking in the glow of the fantastic mini-reunion hosted by Gary and Button
Hyde in Orlando, Jerry White and Gene Witherspoon are planning
another mini for October 2010 that will culminate in the home of the Super
Bowl champions for the Army-Tulane football game on Saturday, 9 October.
The main event and focus will be the New Orleans portion but some,
particularly those driving from Southeast locations, may be able to
participate in a warm up golf outing hosted by Jerry in the Florida
panhandle. This is a warning order and solicitation for expressions of
interest from classmates and class widows who might attend. The general
concept of operations is as follows:
·
Golfers:
Arrive Jerry’s AO at Blue Water Bay Golf Club (near Niceville, FL) on
Wednesday, 6 October. Dinner at Jerry and Cathy’s that evening. Golf on 7
October and dinner in a restaurant that night. Early golf on 8 October and on
to New Orleans (or not). It is a four plus hour drive depending on traffic
and observance (or not) of posted speed limits.
·
Golfers
and non-golfers:
Arrive New Orleans on 8 October or before. Check into hotel (TBD) within
easy reach of French Quarter and Super Dome. (We will try to arrange group
rate for core nights of 8 & 9 Oct and one day before and after
for those who desire more time in the Big Easy.) Dinner at French
Quarter restaurant Friday night. Saturday, do New Orleans things until game
time. (Start time is tentatively 2:30 PM but could change depending on TV
coverage.) Group lunch or dinner depending on game start. Sunday depart or
stay another day if desired.
If you
believe you will be able to attend one or both segments of this proposed
mini-reunion and to give us a feel for how many rooms might be required at
each site, please give names and golf data
(Y/N) under only one of the three
blocks below as per the samples.
