CLASS NOTES attended. Furthermore, Tom Bradford ran into Todd, as he recently moved to Little Rock, AK. Tom is still a NAV of C-130s and is looking for other BRs to hang out in Little Rock; so, if you are in the area hit him up on Facebook. Steven Parsons and Kurt Ivins linked up at Kurt’s wedding reception in Augusta, GA, back on March
Class of 2006: Wilson Nance’s son, 8-month-old Jaxon Thomas Nance, was born in spring 2012.
I got an e-mail from John Diehl letting me know that he and Ben Chovanec just graduated from SFQC and are officially Green Berets. He stated that they had some “good times.” Not sure exactly what that means but congratulations and well done boys. Speaking of good times, I heard from Andrew Walton and he is stationed in Fort Campbell now and is living in the Nashville area. He wanted me to let everyone know that they should come and visit but its BYOB and he will provide the fun. I have an odd feeling that he is hanging out around Vanderbilt a little too much. Chris Brandriff reached out to me and said he is grinding it out in New York. Clark Moncure informed me that he is currently deployed and that Chris Stone and Gabi Canceran are deployed with him as well. Clark is getting married in October and we look forward to hearing about the big day. Jimmy Angerman is currently living in Naples and got a nice visit from Chris Gathmann and his wife, Lindsay, back in March. Jimmy’s wife, Jessica, and him have been staying busy traveling all over Europe. They have been to Tuscany, and he is taking a class in Germany. While they are there, they plan on visiting France, Belgium and the Netherlands. If you are heading to Italy please hit him up for a visit. Darren Wellner is doing well back stateside working for Clark Builders Group
doing construction management, and Michael Floyd is still down at VMI with ROTC and he is hearing all the good bits at the Institute that we miss so much. David Bhatta forwarded me a link of a great story of how Wilson Nance was on official business in Kandahar and was able to briefly run into his mother, Maj. Elizabeth Nance. She is a dental officer and is currently assigned to the ROLE 3 at Kandahar Airfield. They were only able to see each other for a short time, but I’m sure it was a welcomed sight.

Keep them coming. Cheers, and Rah VA Mil!
