Comments:

Karen and I moved from Northern Virginia to the Richmond area in February 2021 after many happy years there. We sold our houses in Woodbridge and Lake of the Woods, between Fredericksburg and Culpeper, which we had enjoyed since 2012, to include hosting a WPAGC party prior to one of the concerts we used to give at the LOW church for Veterans Day. In 2014 our party was shelved because of the Celebration of Life event that same night honoring our own beloved Founding Director Bill Cosby at a nearby watering hole (Bill also was Cadet Glee Club Director when I was OIC 40 years ago). We last took Bill out to eat a year or so later; he fought a valiant battle against a virulent disease as long as he could. Bill will be sorely missed forever. Even though I now reside far from most of you, I continue to participate enthusiastically in Club events whenever possible, and in particular I love being one of the Loose Cannons. Karen and I also have grown to hate I-95 more than ever!

I retired from the Army in 2000 while teaching at National Defense University, and from 2004 to 2021 taught at National Intelligence University, which moved from Bolling AFB in DC to Bethesda in early 2017. I still do pro bono work for the National Military Intelligence Foundation, International Association for Intelligence Education (also VP), and Dwight D. Eisenhower Society. Since 2009 I have been editor of the American Intelligence Journal for NMIF and starting about 2019 have edited articles for West Point's Cyber Defense Review as part of a Class of '70 gift to the Academy. BEAT NAVY!!!

A very Happy Birthday to you, youngster! Have a blessed day and enjoy the vista of snow-covered trees in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Happy Birthday, Mike! We hope you and Renee were able to dodge the hurricane last week. It looked like The Villages was right in the middle of the path of destruction as the storm moved from the west coast to the east. Stay safe and enjoy your big day!

Happy Birthday a bit early, Chip. Hope you and Barbara are enjoying your new home near Charlottesville, along with your "dacha" in the mountains. Happy New Year too!

Happy Birthday, Chip. Now you can finally be a Sixty-Niner like the rest of the "Serve With Integrity" clan! I guess you're the baby of the bunch and Don Goff is the old man. Makes me feel young!

Enjoy your day,
Bill
