Each of you has had an opportunity to reflect on the space-related curriculum now being used at the Academy. In particular, those who were present at our meeting with the faculty last November have an especially clear understanding of what is being taught to the cadets.

In preparation for our next meeting with the Academy staff in May, I would appreciate your reactions to the current program, and how it might be strengthened, from your viewpoint. Of course, several of you have already expressed your opinions on this subject, some of which are reflected at the web site (http://members.aol.com/usafaspace/grads).

Please send me your inputs on this subject, along with any other ideas for strengthening the Academy's program for space education, as soon as possible, so I can begin to assemble an agenda for the May meeting.

On another topic, I have closed the loop with the AOG re earmarking donations for space-related activities. I will have more info on this topic later; please let me know if you or your firm would like to pursue this course in the near term.

If you'd like to discuss these subjects with me, my daytime phone is (310) 364-5746, and at home it's (310) 216-1077.

Please feel free to pass this request to other interested grads.

Thanks again for your involvement and participation.
