Owing to the success of last summer's Army-Navy Track & Cross Country alumni
dinner, a second gathering will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, February 6, 2004, in
conjunction with the Army-Navy indoor track meet at the Naval Academy in
Annapolis. The track meet begins at noon on Saturday. This approach offers the
opportunity for the coaches and guests from today's Army and Navy teams to join
us if possible. Since an "RON" will likely be necessary for out-of-town
attendees in any case, the consensus is that holding the dinner on Friday
evening is the best option.

An initial block of 10 rooms has been reserved at Loews Annapolis Hotel at 126
West Street in Annapolis (a short walk from Church Circle and the Naval
Academy). An initial block of reduced-rate rooms has been reserved, with an
option to add more if attendance warrants it. The cost for a deluxe room, double
rate, is $149. If you plan to attend the dinner and stay at Loews, you must make
a reservation by calling the hotel reservations desk at 1-800-526-2593. Identify
yourself as part of the "Army-Navy Track Alumni Room Block" when making your
reservation (which will require a credit card to hold). We plan to hold the
dinner at Loews.

Col. Barney Forsythe, the Assistant Dean at the Military Academy, Class of
1970, has agreed to be the Army speaker at the reunion dinner. He was Army's
Indoor Track Captain and has served 25-plus years as the officer representative
on Army's track and cross country teams. Navy coaches Steve Cooksey and Al
Cantello also have been contacted recently to seek their participation, and we
expect to hear back from them soon.

If you plan to attend the dinner, please confirm now by e-mail with the dinner's
organizers (see below: Army with Col. Greg Camp, USMA '68, and Navy with Capt.
Gordon Peterson, USNA '68). Final guest list must be confirmed no later than
January 23. Full information on the cost for the dinner will be provided by that
time. Please provide the following information in your e-mail:

1. Full name and class, phone number, and e-mail.

2. Number in your party who will attend.
