CLASSMATES: Our Reunion Committee has worked all these past 54 years to help keep us all together after we walked out the Front Gate in 1970. They worked hard trying to give us the best reunions possible for the best use of our money. They tireless hauled tons of beer, whiskey, and food for our Hospitality Suites, our Tent Cities, the Night time extravaganzas, and Roof top stadium parties. All those extras we took for granted were hard earned. We all owe them a million thanks.

They are- L to Right- Mickey Thompson, Stan Townsend, John Moore, Tom Cothrane, Jim Pinson, Kevin Campbell, Ken Webb, Bill Sudyk, John Peeples, Glen Avinger, and Bubba Kennedy

Give to The Citadel and Brigadier Foundations

First, I would like to thank all of you for your continuing generosity. The checks we presented to The Citadel at our 40th Reunion were truly impressive but we have many hard years ahead. As you've been hearing, state funding to The Citadel and all state schools, is being drastically reduced. We can all help our alma mater by giving to The Citadel and Brigadier Foundations through the Class of 1970's Annual Fund Drive which combines the two efforts into one. When you receive the mailer, you may choose a Designated Gift or allow the staff to place your donation where it is needed the most at that time. No gift is too small. The Citadel Foundation funds Academic Schlorships, Student Learning Opportunities, Faculty Scholarships, Faculty Recruitment and Retention, The Academic Environment, and Special Opportunities for Academic Enrichment. The Brigadier Foundation provides scholarship assistance for approximately 225 cadet-student-athletes because there are NO state funds available. These funds enable The Citadel to compete in the challenging market for great athletes. Please keep an eye out for updates on The Citadel's Strategic Initiative Plan, which was first published in 2002. That will give you a good idea what your money is needed for and of the changing priorities. Thank you once again for your continuing support. Mike Rogers- Class of 70 Rep to The Citadel Foundation
