After a run of great speakers this past several weeks, we'll go with an Open Forum this time. As usual we'll start with roundtable introductions.

5/29/12: TBD or Open Forum. We have a few speakers in the pipeline, pending confirmation of specific dates, but we're always looking for more. If you'd like to invite a speaker or lead a discussion for any Tuesday morning, just let me know at panicciaj@aol.com, or you're welcome to add it to our calendar at www.academybiznet.org.
3. GRAD SEEKING ASSISTANCE:
Dave Duff (USNA '90) recently reached out to the USNA alumni network for assistance in making contacts in the Denver/Boulder area. The following was passed along by Biznet member J.J. Mackin (USNA '66). If you can offer Dave any advice or assistance, please reach out to him directly via the contact information below. You can also view his profile on LinkedIn at http://www.linkedin.com/pub/david-duff/2/943/277
Dave writes as follows:
My name is Dave Duff, and I’m a USNA grad currently living with my wife
(Patricia) and 2 young children (Drew and Paige) in Winter Springs, Florida.
I’m planning to re-locate my family to Boulder, CO this year because
seasonal allergies are impacting our quality of life here in Central Florida. I’m reaching out to you because it’s difficult to make a major location
change without contacts in the new place. Would you be willing to pass along
contact information of Recruiters/Managers/Directors you may know?
My area of expertise is Information Technology Project Management. I have 11 years with Science Applications International Corporation, and 10 years of service as a
Marine before that. My commitment to move my family to Boulder this summer is strong. I'm targeting well established companies like IBM, VMware, and L3, but would enjoy contributing at a smaller firm if the work was interesting and challenging.
Thanks for considering my request.

2 WP Grads taking on Colorado Trail for Charity
Anyone In Colorado willing to support and encourage 2 WP grads?
West Point Class of 1970 has a continuing campaign to donate to the National Conference on Ethics in America. Two Grads, (USMA 1970 Cadet Company E2) Whit Wise and Dave Schroeder have decided to hike the Colorado Trail (from June 17 through July 26, 2012), which runs from Waterton Canyon just west of Denver across the mountains and ends in Southwest Colorado at the town of Durango. It is almost 486 miles long and runs as high as 13300 feet in elevation. They also plan to hike to the top of one or two 14000 foot peaks which lie near the trail. 4 Grads (E-2 members) have pledged up to a dollar per mile for the total miles completed by Whit and Dave, meaning a commitment of up to $1000 if (actually, when) they both complete the hike. Injuries, accidents, illness, weather problems, lack of commitment and possibly wild animals are the only things standing in their way.
Please consider signing this pledge form to contribute to the ongoing USMA 1970 NCEA Fund Raising Campaign:

4. RECENT TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH BIZNET POSTS:
Hopefully the recent issues with formatting and erroneous posts are now behind us. Guess we'll find out when this post goes out today. :) It started with an unannounced upgrade by Google to their e-blogger tool which we use, which changed some default settings for formatting. Think we have that one figured out now. As to how it also resulted in an old post from January being sent again...don't know. That old post was regarding a request for proposals (RFP) by Bill Sumner. Please disregard that, as Bill did get what he needed. My apologies to Bill for any resulting hassles with inquiries on that.
