Welcome to our Old Boys who came back to see the Museum!  Pictured is Ben Downing, 1991 and we also welcomed Ilya Sheldon, 2009.

Also, we enjoyed receiving a three page letter to home from Rev. Bill Salmon, 1953.  In it Bill writes, "naturally, we go to bed around here at 2130 and rise at 0630.  Well Mom, in order to get my reading done, I arise at 0600, wash, shave, shine and then read my bible.  By then it's 0630 and I wake up Fred.(Chocano?)  It seems that he doesn't hear the bugle."  "We have inspection every day, usually by cadet officers and do they do a thorough job.  But this Sunday, Capt. Moffett gave a white glove inspection, and I actually mean a white glove.  The inspection by the Capt was made after the cadets made theirs.  So we were told to put on slacks and a sports shirt because we were going to be measured today.  Well, Capt Moffett inspects any time he so feels like it.  So he caught me just as I was slipping off my overalls.  Well, I tried to snap to but all was travail, so I stood at ease in my shorts.  Boy was I embarrassed."

 Thank you Bill for this cherished letter.
