2000 Reunion-We got wet, but we won, Horns 46 - Missouri 12!

Friday afternoon a group gathered in front of RAS, then toured the southwest part of the campus including the stadium, athletic facilities, University of Texas Club and the new San Jacinto dormitory.  If you haven't seen these new digs, they are first rate.

Later, the World War II Veterans hosted dinner at the Austin Country Club.  It was a "sharing of history."  For 45 years Kirk Cansler has worked promoting the WWII Veterans. There were 66 persons attending their Annual Dinner. 
Meanwhile, at Scholtz Garden, a more casual group of about 40 gathered and told equally exciting stories, but no one could remember any the next day.  Bill Davis '68 sent $20 to buy a round, then called and invested much more on the phone call, talking to the crowd.

Early Saturday, the Board met to verify the slate of officers for 2001 and finalize preparations for reunion activities.  Note that Rod Koenig has taken the reins as President, backed up by Clay Fulcher as Vice president.  Jeff Howell was elected to fill the remaining term of Max Miller, who will continue to be active through his role on  the Midshipman Foundation Board.  The annual business meeting was well attended and followed by an indoor tailgate party provisioned by Bob Gartner with a huge subway sandwich.  We recognized all the alums and spouses in attendance and honored several alums for service to the Foundation.  One notable event was the introduction of regional directors: 

DFW        Ray Adams

Houston    Keys Curry

Eastern      K.J. Moore

Central       Rudy Krueger

Mountain    Henry Harper

Pacific         Bob Hancock

Wet or dry, after the game, a raucous contingent converged at the Military History Museum at Camp Mabry for our annual dinner, including some we haven't seen for years.  Here is a list of most of the participants.  You can see who you missed.  Ray Adams, Jim Adkins, Rusty Allman, Don Brown, Bruce Byron, Kirk Cansler, Bob Collins, Keys Curry, Clif Darby, John Engstrom, Ken Fletcher, Bob Gartner, Bob Hancock, Henry Harper, Dale Hayden, John Hitchcock, Ron Kissman, Weldon Koenig, Rod Koenig, Jim Kuch, Jim Langley, Don McLelland, Tom Mickelson, Max Miller, Fred Moon, Ed Moore, K.
