Well it's time once again for your Friendly Webmaster to bug you for providing some input to the Class of '68 website, www.usafa68.org. First of all I hope you and your family are all doing well during these crazy economic times and had a nice Thanksgiving. If you send a letter out over the Holidays - please email me one for sharing with your Classmates.

There are still events in our history that I'd like to put pictures/stories on the website about:

1. The '65 Inauguration.
2. Train trip to Chicago for the game with Army.
3. The "plague".

Send me what you have/remember.

I pay special attention to the In Memoriam pages on our website. I keep it as current as possible by checking the AOG website often and by searching the web. For some of our deceased Classmates there is not much information on the website - so if you have a story to share about one of our departed, I'd be happy to add it. Also, if you learn of the death of a Classmate, please do not assume that it was reported - let the AOG and/or me know.

The ongoing project for the website is: Car Pictures. Did you know that there at least one of our Classmates that still has the car he had at graduation and has not sent me a picture?

I'm always looking for pictures of past and present cars.

These two projects are up and running, but not very fast.

1. Blair Stewart suggested, "The Planes We Flew" - Do you have a picture(s) of yourself next to the aircraft and an interesting flying story to tell? Check out what's been submitted.

2. "Classmate Spotlight" - We've got lots of Classmates that have had or are still having a very interesting life/career that few of us know about. Take a look and let me know if you know of a Classmate that we could "Spotlight". I'll bug him for input and of course have him review anything before it's on the web.

If you can't remember what you looked like when you graduated - you can click on your name on the Class Roster page (http://www.usafa68.org/Roster/cr.htm) and your yearbook photo shows up. Please email me a current picture of you to post next to your yearbook photo. There is lots of storage space on the website for stories, documents and photos. I can scan and return documents, pictures, 35mm mounted slides and 35mm negatives. As always I'd appreciate any comments, corrections, and suggestions for the website. If you would like your email address to be available for others - please let me know, I will only make it available with your permission.

Also, you can read our Scribe, Tim Davidson's, Checkpoints Class News, as soon as he submits it for publication at: http://www.usafa68.org/Scribe/sp.htm along with his past articles and pictures.

You may also want to look at the stories that the Class of 1964 recently posted here: http://classof1964usafa.org/Public/contents.htm

Last, but not least, Garry Dudley is our AOG Class Senator - read what he recently posted here: http://www.usafa68.org/Bulletins/AOG/bu9.htm

Nita and I wish all of you and your families the very best as we head for 2012. Again, please email me a copy of your Christmas letter for posting.
