I am attaching an email from Marc that will be of interest.
Dear Duff,
I recently met with a small group of grads and Stella Grayson from the USAFA AOG about re-energizing the Great Lakes Chapter of the AOG. I know that a lot of work was done by you over the last several years to keep the chapter going, and I volunteered to take over his efforts. I will travel to the Academy next week to get a handle on what needs to be done first.
I think that this is a great time to put effort into this. As you hopefully know, the University of Michigan will host Air Force for the first home game of the 2012 season.
I’ve been in contact also with the West Point AOG, and Tom Beierschmitt has been extremely generous and helpful in helping me focus on things that have worked for them. One of the first events we will have the privilege of sharing is the All Service Academy Golf Outing. Information is available here: http://www.west-point.org/society/wps-michigan/golfouting.htm.
After I get back from Colorado Springs, I will have more information to share. Please let me know if you are interested in helping re-energize the chapter (I have a few names already). I know that many of you participated in a survey from the AOG about the kinds of activities you feel are important, and the AOG will share that with me next week.
I look forward to meeting and working with you all.
Best,
Marc Robinson, ’90
