GREETINGS OC 2-70!

MAKING HISTORY - AGAIN
Mark your calendar for September 19-22, the OC2-70 reunion in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia.  And watch your e-mail inbox for details.  Meanwhile, here's a special invitation:

REUNION IX September 13-16 in Seattle.  
Basking in the glow of a fine weekend in a marvelous city.  Photos and remembrances will be coming soon, but you can sing along with the alma mater right now.

Hiking the Canyon.  Follow CJ Spence and his intrepid band as they hiked into and out of the Grand Canyon in March.  Read CJ's narrative; view the photos.

The Honorable OC2-70 Politicos.  Congratulations to Jim Baird, elected to the Indiana House of Representatives.  Jim trounced two opposition candidates, winning the 44th District with 55% of the vote to join the new GOP majority in the Indiana House.  And David Wilson was elected to the City Council of Kyle Texas.

REUNION VIII September 9-13 at the Palmer House in Chicago.  
 It was a picture-perfect weekend for our eighth reunion in the Chicago Loop.  From the top of the Hancock Tower to a Chicago River tour boat, lakefront museums to the shiny bean in Grant Park, OC2-70 took advantage of the weather and location to renew old ties.  Here's the Chicago reunion page.

60th Company was part of The Candidate Brigade at the US Army Infantry School at Fort Benning, GA.  The members of the company came together from all over the country.  We were college grads, draftees, enlisted men, from all walks of life, serving at a time when the military was an obligation, not a choice.  We were commissioned on January 23, 1970, the second infantry officer class of the 70's.  Many of the members of the class went to Vietnam.  Some made careers in the Army; others did their two years and went on to resume civilian lives.  All served with distinction and honor.  For the most part, we lost contact.

Thirty years later, through the efforts of C.J. Spence and others, the members of OC2-70 were reconnected.  This web site is one result - a way of staying in touch.  This is not a place for reliving past glories.  Don't look for political commentary or strategic analyses. It is a place for restoring friendships, finding memories, and perhaps reflecting on the value of an officer's education.
