3. GRAD GROUP TRAVEL TO IRELAND:
Thanks to Lindy Blackburn (USMA '69) for passing along this item. His classmate, Mike Healy, is from the West Point Society of DC. Presumably all academy grads are welcome to join this trip. Mike writes as follows:
I am the West Point Society of DC member leading this tour. The West Point Society of Denver is invited to join this trip. The WPSDC is going to Ireland in September 2013. A few testimonials from the Ireland Tour in 2012:
“Absolutely the best! Thanks to all for making our Ireland tour an unforgettable experience. From meeting us at Shannon Airport, arranging transportation, to the History of Ireland presentation, the traditional Irish dancers and singers to the local pub band made everyone truly feel part of Ireland. We have done bus tours in the past and it can become quite hectic. This way we could relax as well as partake in the desired excursions. We just loved it! A perfect trip!" Jim Ball, USMA 1969
“Our Ireland tour was a never-to-be-forgotten, unique life-experience, with a perfect mix of Irish Tradition, History, Golf, Pubs, Castles and local Landmarks - and Irish Whiskey, of course! The Dunloe is a warm, classic hotel of Ireland! Our class is very discerning, and I heard NO comments less than "Great!"” Jim Mesite, USMA 1969
“I cannot think of a more incredible week than the one we recently spent in Killarney. To be able to develop, renew, and re-establish relationships with classmates and spouses while thoroughly enjoying the superb accommodations and non-stop activities is difficult to adequately describe. The only way this week could have been better is if it were two weeks - an unbelievable time!!" Dave Hofstetter, USMA 1969
