USCGA Class of 1992

Hi folks. Check out a new book, "The Keys of Electrum", written by J. D. Henning and his father. I got a copy and it's really good! History, mystery, action & adventure. See if you recognize any similarities to our other classmates...

At the retirement for Dr. Cieplik at CGA on Saturday, we had Bruce Tetreault, Brendan Kelly, Chris Cieplik, Dante Vinciguerra, Rob Waldman and Ed Beale all in attendance. Sorry, no picture. Reunion dates are Fri-Sat, Sep 28-29, 2012. Mark your calendars. More soon on www.cga92.com, the Facebook page, and the www.cgaalumni.org class pages. Write if you need help with the site or have info to pass: edbeale@cga92.com

You may have already heard, but J. D. Henning wrote a novel with his father called "The Keys of Electrum".

If you "like" the facebook page, the publisher is raffling an iPad2: http://www.facebook.com/KeysOfElectrum

Click to: order the book from Tate Publishing. Currently in early release status. They also have an e-book available.

Support a classmate, buy this book! (Ed's review: a suspenseful and fun read!)

Please enjoy this 62mb audio file. I recommend listening through the first 50 minutes. You'll get a really good perspective of the current state of CGA projects and activities.

Yes, I know this was one year ago! Still outrageously funny.

It's been great to see everyone connecting on Facebook. Don't forget to cross-post your stories here for the historical record. Hope everyone has a quiet, joyful and relaxing holiday.

Today, as many of you know, we laid to rest one of our own at Arlington National Cemetery. To all that attended, Thank You for your amazing support today. Those in attendance know that it was a perfect way to send off a fellow Guardian, classmate and friend. Those of you that we unable to attend, please know you were well represented. There were over 100 people at the gravesite and many attended the reception that followed. I will forward his gravesite section and number when I get it for those of you that would like to visit the cemetery at a later date.

I have two spare bedrooms with queen mattresses for anyone to stay at if they are coming from out of town for the funeral. I live about 15 miles south of Arlington and a few miles from the metro stop.

I went to Arlington with Fon she is holding up but the holidays have been tough. Her mother is still in town and visits and calls are much appreciated. I sent her a video on the history of Arlington, which covered a bit of the internment ceremony as well. She also had a few questions so the folks at the visitors center cleared them up right away.

Greetings to all,

I was asked to pass this information along:
