April 14, 2023 - Founders Day Celebration - Derryfield Country Club
Over 50 grads and guests attended the event on April 14th including 4 appointees for the class of 2027. There was no guest speaker for this year's event which left plenty of time to embellish lots of war stories. We continued our unblemished record of being recognized as a Distinguished Chapter for 2022 due to your participation and support in all the events we held during 2022. Ken Bonn '73 as the legacy class rep for the class of 2023 congratulated the new graduates on their first assignments as they join our Air Force. Mike Ard '77 was also there to welcome the class of 2077 appointees and wish them the best as enter USAFA this summer.
