The 35th reunion starts off with an early Friday morning golf tournament at the Greendale Golf Course in Arlington. The scramble format was used to avoid reporting those embarrassing scores!

We were given an extensive education on the Patriot Missile defense system which is 30-years old, but updates have kept it in the active inventory. It is this type of defense that may protect us from enemy ICBM threats.
