CLASS NOTES the Bottom and is stationed at Ft. Lee. A few of our BRs are at Ft. Lee right now: Dylan Knehr and TJ Green, at least that I know of. Both are doing well. I’m actually going to see TJ for the Tough Mudder at Wintergreen. I’m running with Tom Louderback and any other Keydets that are around. A few of our BRs have been married and engaged since I last wrote. Ronnie Ellsworth and the former Zipporah McCann were wed August 27th. They moved their wedding up due to the arrival of the hurricane on their previously scheduled wedding day. Luckily, the new date worked out, and they had a beautiful wedding. Phillip Parker is now engaged to Jessica Helms; congratulations to them both! Noah Gibson and Hannah Granger are also recently engaged. I wish the best of luck to all of you starting your

lives together! When I was in northern Virginia earlier this month, I ran into Ermin Mujezinovic. Moo Moo is still at VMI finishing his last year and running for the Keydets. He said he was doing well and hopes that BRs look him up if they’re in Lexington. I talked to Kyle Drumheller a little while ago, and he told me that he had just bought a boat and had taken it out on Lake Anna and the Potomac for some fishing and tubing. Kyle is working as an engineer in NoVA. Kelson Hurley told me that he will be entering the Army next spring, he was selected via the Army SF recruitment program and will attend basic training and then go to selection; good luck, Kelson! Nic Williams, Lane Pratt and Jeremy Chuidian just started Ranger school. If anyone has their
addresses, send them to me, and I hope we can send them some letters. I talked to Roy Hunter last week. Roy is doing well and just began work for VAMAC in Richmond and will be moving to Fredericksburg later this year. Roy mentioned that Ethan Price is doing well and has been interviewing for jobs around Virginia. I hope that these notes find everyone doing well and having a great winter. If you head down to Lexington for a basketball game, let me know, and hopefully we can meet up. These notes will only be as long as the e-mails I receive, so let me know what you’ve been up to. If I missed anything for this Review, it’s never too late to let me know. Stay in touch, Rah VA Mil! Allen McCown
