Just got the answer to my question from my DS. The speaker is Mayor Bloomberg.

KPDad ~ Yes, it is common for parents to attend the cruise and the Ball. We are :thumb: So any notion of President Obama coming must be out since there are unlimited tickets to graduation. That being said, do we know who the speaker will be? We're doing that sunny cheer too.

Buff is right on. I was more disappointed than DS about AAB being cancelled and I was definitely the instigator in our original attendance in 2007. But I want to point out that while DS dragged his feet to go four years ago during his plebe year, once he went, he had a blast and wanted to attend...

Lucky NY! I am lobbying for TriState to reschedule - it's a longshot. Our Committee went to a lot of time and trouble beyond the fact that so did many others (and expense too!) Undoubtedly the right call was made (safety is always first) - these things happen, but I also think a snowdate should...

Misery loves company so I thought I'd share. When my son was a plebe, we attended the incredibly elegant and patriotic Academy Ball at the illustrious and historic Union League in downtown Philadelphia back in 2007. Well.... left there vowing to take my parents and loved ones for his 1C year in...

Parents Weekend should definitely stay on as planned. Looks like we will just have weather on Friday. Hope the tent holds! In fact, usually the weather following hurricanes is ideal so Sat/Sun/Mon should be perfect. We've been watching hurricane swells all week from the last hurricane which was...

Yikes! Just heard warning on national news for Long Island on Fri/Sat to watch storm closely - possible 100 mph winds - flooding -evacuations. Just great.

No, the Mids can only do one intercollegiate sport. Sailing is a Division I sport at Kings Point. Sailing practice is daily to include weekends. Deepsea can elaborate with precision, but I know DS practices every afternoon often missing dinner and participates in regattas or team movements on...

It's definitely too early to tell yet, but they are saying Earl may be @200 miles off the NE coast - but then Sat & Sun look beautiful with heat wave gone - here's hoping. But good point, no matter, Beat Retreat is HOT with all of those bodies crammed into the gym. Regardless, it is SO worth...

Hurricane Earl Looking at the projected path, it looks like it would be smart to bring foul weather gear. From what I can tell on the weather.com site, Earl will be in the New York area Friday or so.:thumbdown:

Upon further scrutiny, I see that two former Supes were alums. How did they fare?

This is nothing short of FANTASTIC news!! When was the last time a KP alum served as Superintendent?

If you are able to be in the New Jersey/Delaware area on the weekend of September 18th - not to be missed::thumb: Second Annual Delaware Shore Chapter Cruise How long has it been since you’ve said, “honey, I’m taking you on a cruise!”. Join with other alumni from the Mid-Atlantic Region...

KP have you gone to NEX in the past month? We unraveled the flag at the counter prior to purchasing it just to make sure it was an Academy flag and sure enough it was. I have been looking for the past 4 years for one and had never found one either which is why I was so excited to find it...

Check at the NEX first. I'm quite sure we purchased an United States Merchant Marine ACADEMY flag there when we were up there helping at Indoc!!

I can't verify this until next week, but I'm pretty darn sure I bought a USMMA Flag (not US Merchant Marine) at the NEX when we were up there for Indoc. We were delighted to find it as we hadn't seen it before.

same ole, same ole I find it ironic (or maybe not) that these very same topics/conversations occur each year. In the past, however, they happened in a different forum. Three years ago, DS complained about the food too- not enough, no fresh fruit, no MILK (that's when I went ballistic), five...

Here is the venue for the Ring Dance next week. Simply Breathtaking! http://www.gothamhallevents.com/tour/intro.htm

DITTO Zonk!! ~ I too saw Luau pictures and it looked like a GREAT party that was under control/well managed. Again, good to see those Mids having fun at KP knowing how hard they have worked and will continue to work towards graduation. Next up? Ring Dance! Now we ALL will be able to see...

Hadn't heard of any issues, but I am not surprised that some go overboard (pardon the pun). They were psyched to reunite with their plebe buddies, share sea year experiences and catch up after 2+ years. This is a tight bunch who really missed each other, which speaks to the bond that was forged...
