Tricounty Lunch Bunch
Several members of our class have started regular meetings on the third Friday of each month to have lunch, tell lies, and renew old friendships. The meeting announcements are generally sent to Class of 1970 alumni living in the greater Charleston tricounty area, but all classmates are invited to attend. If you are visiting in the area during the time for any of these meetings, please feel free to come. See the “Class News” web page for more information.

James Martin Whitmire, Jr., 92, retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, died October 7, 2009, in Columbia, S.C. Many of our classmates will remember Col. Whitmire as the Professor of Aerospace Studies during our time as cadets and as the Commandant during our senior year. Col. Whitmire was the last living signer of the diplomas for the class of 1970.

More pictures from our 30th Reunion
Some time ago Pad Cleveland sent me several hundred pictures from our 30th reunion (in the year 2000). I picked out 79 of the “best” pictures and uploaded them to our web site. If you would like to relive those fun times, or for those of you who did not attend, if you would like to see what you missed, take a look at the pictures from Pad using this link: Pictures from Pad Cleveland
