from Kent Schlussel – Reunion Shirt Orders

Posted on 5 January 2006 by Chips Lanier

A number of our BR’s have written me about obtaining the 35th Reunion shirts (mostly from people who did not attend or forgot the size of their spouses). I think I can do it for about $30 each plus postage (any profit will go to our class fund). I probably need at least 10 or 12 orders to make it worthwhile.

If someone is interested, please contact me directly by email to k2j2(at)earthlink(dot)net or phone at 434 973 8189. (Replace the words with the proper symbols in my email link before sending.)

Thanks,

Kent

Look for VMI on NBC in the Roanoke/Lexington Area

Posted on 21 December 2005 by Chips Lanier

From “Inside VMI”
VMI’s Office of Communications and Marketing, the Alumni Association and WSLS – TV have been working collaboratively for the past seven months to bring forth a commercial “soft spot” campaign that focuses on VMI’s strengths and values. “Soft spots” are similar to public service announcements, but since VMI doesn’t fit this criteria (public good, or safety, etc), “soft spots” are designed to convey a message which sponsors are often eager and proud to endorse in the same way.

Ain’t technology wonderful!!!! Good job – Chips. My first posting to the site is to alert the Class of a great new year’s party to be hosted by the Keydet Club. The party will be held in Falls Church, Va (Northern VA) and will follow the VMI – Maryland B-Ball game.

It will be a fun event and if you haven’t made New Years Eve plans yet – plan to attend. It will be well attended and I can promise you a good time will be had by all.

Note from Glenn Kuntz

Posted on 29 November 2005 by Chips Lanier

For the first post in “News”, I received the following from Glenn Kuntz on Monday, 28 Nov:

I have been working in Europe for the past two years and did not attend the reunion this year for the first time in 35 years. I went to the Oktoberfest in Munich that weekend (I think it is almost the same thing) and I raised my mug to the Class of 1970. Continue reading →
