It also has become somewhat of a general "chat" email. However, for the most part, it is Navy parents with genuine questions. If you care to sign up. Send an email to: dolfnjudy@aol.com Her name is Dorothy and tell her you would like to subscribe to the USNA list server. You must give your full name and your mids name and year and I think that is all. The following information came across to me and I am sure there are others who are concerned about all the cadets.

I found it at Amazon .com and it received a 5 star rating. My husband had a great idea for those of us that live too far away to make frequent trips to the Academy. We are having our plebe buy a throw away camera and take pictures of his room, roommates, of him dressed up for the Christmas sit down dinner, etc. and any other things he thinks we might like to see. We were there for Parents Weekend, but he has since moved to a renovated wing, and we didn't meet his roommates. We'll get the film developed while he is home for Christmas, and it will give us a better feel for his life at the Academy.

Each mid was given a yellow foam rubber sword ("Run through them Navy"), a small cowbell, and a white "Go Navy" towel. They never stopped ...... never stopped. Eventually they tore of yellow foam and stuffed in their ears ... but they didn't stop making noise! Handsome one moment, wild kids the next. Wow. The game was saddened by the collapse of a railing as cadets aped for cameras. All are now fine, but 30 minutes of ambulances cast a spell. So did losing. Next year. Go, navy. Our son was playing volleyball the next day in a tournament with Rutgers and several others. He was not permitted to stay with us, but he could have dinner with us if we got him to the hotel by 0100. The wires were crossed with my son, and as the vans pulled away I asked if he had directions to the hotel. He did .... it was in Staten Island! So we canceled the expensive-but-fleabag-hotel in Philadelphia, then ate dinner on the way, and got everyone to the hotel after midnight ... then we headed for home ... stopping in Lehigh, PA at a little Days Inn. Hectic, crazy and wonderful. He brought some mid friends/teammates along as well ... they had eaten breakfast at 0500, were given a lunch including Surge, snickers, beef jerky which they ate as soon as they got off the bunch at 0830. Hot dogs at the stadium were $4. By the time I took them to dinner, those boys could eat! What fun to see them enjoy themselves and interact ... as gentlemen, officers. So polite, but so full of life. And Ka-ching!! Now I know who orders those 20oz steaks ... and desert! Our son was actually quite down that evening. The week had been wild (and fun for him) but with very little sleep. The news of 4/c Steven Douglas collapse during a touch football game was quite disturbing to them; one of the mids was present when it happened and all had not heard about it until then. And the loss to army, and the confusion about Staten Island, and I think sharing his family, etc, etc. Probably some anxiety about exams this week; real close to the Supt's list and wants to be there. Emotions were running high and low. Ann had made dozens of cookies to share with the VB team, and a boxed care package for this week. Dialogued on the instant messenger with him Monday night. He's getting back on track. There is memorial service today (weds 1200) at USNA and funeral in Visalia, CA sometime later this week. My heart and prayers go out to his mother and classmates. I know all of yours do as well. These young men and women are doing something incredibly powerful. I'm proud of them all. Godspeed, Parents! Only a week till Christmas break!

I feel like I was at the game now. Our son filled us in on his views from the game and he was concerned about the railing incident since a High School buddy is a Woop. I had names by Sunday and reassured him that Mat was not among the injured. I got a smige of the craziness when Brad informed me that he and an upper in the Glee Club had swapped shoulder boards for the day. Brad was also in the banner stealing group. Brad has a busy week with the rehersals for the taping of the President's Christmas Special on Sunday in DC. The Men's Glee Club is also performing Handel's Messiah this weekend. I believe it is also being taped to be aired NEXT season on PBS. The President's Christmas Special is being shown on NBC Friday Dec 18th. For everyone with traveling Mids I pray for good weather. I know the weather CAN'T be good everywhere, but at least managable! Have a wonderful holiday season with your Mid close by! Nancy &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& & Nancy A.

Reading your journal of the Army/Navy day and your dinner with those bottomless midnn, and of your son's quiet despair, was a blessing. It was a little like being there. It was also, in many of its observations and details about your son, such a confirmation and affirmation of my own son's ups and downs, his victories and moments of the bottomless pit.

A concrete wall collapsed at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh last Sunday and that firm blamed it on "drunken, angry fans." Talk about passing the buck!! These stadiums are built for sporting events, not symphonies or ballets -- of course, fans get excited! GGggrrrr...... Firm blames crowd for broken railing (AP) - An engineering firm blamed abnormal crowding conditions for the railing collapse at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia that sent nine Army cadets and prep students crashing to the ground during the Army-Navy game. The engineers from HNTB Sports Architects of Kansas City, Mo., reached the same conclusion Thursday as the city Department of Licenses and Inspections: The railing gave way because there was too much pressure against it, not because it was defective. "They indicated from their visual examination that there was no sign of any rust, corrosion or structural defect and the incident was caused by too much crowding and pushing," Mayor Edward Rendell said. As long as the abnormal crowding conditions were not replicated, there was no reason that the railings would not perform as intended, the engineers said. "It should be noted, similar incidents have occurred in other stadiums when crowds have congregated and caused excessive lateral force at the handrails," the report said. Nine Army cadets and prep students were injured when the railing broke as they cheered for television cameras during Saturday's nationally televised game, sending them tumbling about 15 feet to the artificial turf. Kevin Galligan, 21, of Fairhope, Ala., was hospitalized overnight after the game with a broken a bone in his neck. Rendell said all railings have been declared safe for the Eagles' game Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. The broken railing has been replaced. Marilyn Szwarc Emily '??

He was attending regular classes on Monday and is "back into the normal routine" including final exams.

It seems to me that ours should be a listserver dedicated to information distribution and mutual support. Activism for virtually any cause presents problems. That is because (a) our members may not all agree that a given course of action (if any!) is best and (b) we may inadvertantly run contra to the work being done by USNA officials. From having dealt with this situation at USMA for a number of years, I know that the officals there DO NOT WANT parents . . . or anyone else . . . to be involved with lobbying efforts. They have found that the potential harm from an uncoordinated action can far outweigh any good which might be produced. Specifically in the case of the Veterans Stadium accident, I'm sure that those responsible for negotiating a new contract are aware of the accident. They are in possession of a LOT MORE data than we could ever possibly hope to obtain. It seems to me that we should rely on their professionalism to execute a contract in the best interests of the Academy. Of course, individuals are free to express opinions directly to the USNA administration regarding this or any other matter. However, I don't think that this is appropriate ground for us to get into on this listserver. If you have thoughts on the enclosed proposed addition to the Rules of Operation, send them to me directly. Please DO NOT broacast anything further regarding this topic. Best regards, Dolf ---------- MISSION STATEMENT ================= 1. Quickly and inexpensively share information about Navy parenting between members of the list. 2.

The enclosed FAQ presents some information on this topic. As always, please send additions and corrections directly to me. Best regards, Dolf ---------- Q: Location of future Army-Navy Games? A: The current 10 year contract with the City of Philadelphia started in 1993. That means that the last year of the present arrangement would be 2002. All of the remaining years are planned to be played in Philadelphia. Current (12/98) indications are that next year's 1999 game will be in that city's Veterans Stadium. There has been some discussion about **possibly** moving the 2000 game to Landover Maryland's Jack Kent Cooke Stadium when it is Navy's turn to be the "at home" team. Nothing firm has been determined in this regard. If such a move took place, an additional year would be added to the existing contract. In that case, the site would continue to be Philadelphia for 2001, 2002, and 2003. Of course, all such projections are "subject to change" until finalized! A new contract is normally discussed jointly between the Athletic Directors and then negotiated with the sites offering to host the game. This contest has been traditionally played in Philadelphia with a few other venues used from time to time. *** USNA-NET post by: BEIL Dolf Moderator __________________________________________________________________ Need a book?
