Updates from your AOG Class Senator
| Association
of Graduates (AOG) Class Advisory Senate (CAS) The purpose of the AOG Class Advisory Senate is to improve communications between the AOG leadership and the membership. My communiqués are to convey the happenings of the AOG Senate, share information passed to the Senate, and to give you an avenue to get ideas and thoughts back to the AOG leadership via the Senate. This is NOT to discourage you from communicating in any other manner you may choose! Information and, occasionally my opinions, will be posted on the class website as opposed to sending out mass emails. Please review the bulletins on the Class Website regularly. (www.usafa68.org) Any future mass mailings will be rare! Thanks to Pat for adding this additional information to the website.  Garry

| The Class Advisory Senate (CAS) met
for our quarterly meeting 14 April. It was a meeting of many interesting presentations.
We heard from the USAFA Endowment as to the increased year over year fund raising
success. The improved (and continues to improve) relationship between the Endowment
and the AOG is loosening wallets.
We also heard from the Falcon Foundation and the Friends of the Library. The points made were interesting and positive. I’ll leave it to the official minutes to be posted on the AOG website for the details.
Another topic of interest that has been going for a long time was, “How can we improve two way communications with our Classmates for better improvement?” An exploration of social networking uses was conducted by a subcommittee of three led by Mike Mosier. The slides are attached. The CAS will be setting up a learning site and deliver better communications to your soon!
Please keep your ideas coming! Check out the AOG website regularly as well as our class website.

Our
AOG Board selected William L. Thompson, Class of ’73, to be CEO. Known as
“T” to classmates and friends, is an entrepreneur who has owned successful
small businesses, and he has served on boards of directors of a number of diverse
organizations, ranging from national charities to local banks. He also served
for 17 years – under three different governors from both political parties
-- as an appointed commissioner on the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission. Along
the way he also became a lawyer. The remarkable thing is that he accomplished
all of that while flying for Delta Airlines, eventually becoming a captain who
gave Delta crews check flights. One of his former bosses, the chief pilot at Delta,
described him this way: a very sharp guy; street-smart; well-connected; a tough
negotiator. Click
