It is 11:00 pm, and the boat swings on a mooring in the harbor of the Isles of the Shoals. A weather front comes through the anchorage; winds shift 180 degrees, then rises to 50 knots with thunder and lightening. I think "This is too much like work!" And maybe it is, as in the hours after midnight the sky clears and the stars appear.Perhaps that is our job, to get our students through the "storms", and not only view, but reach the "stars".

 

Yes this is the faculty/staff letter indicating that the summer is near its end.

 

***yadda yadda yadda***

 

Al cormier (Chief) and his crew once again have the "Traditions" days organized and scheduled. I thank them for their work. Thank you's also go to Bob Warren, Joe Campbell, Carol Taylor, Kris Willis and Kevin Foley for their efforts. We are pushing hard in a number of areas. Jim kollmer, Bob Bazinet, and their crews are finishing their annual summer work, and the support staff kees us moving smoothly through the waves. The Academy will be ready for "sea" once again.

 

***yadda yadda yadda***

 

The weather is clear; the breeze is freshening; the seas are following; and the glass is rising. I am off to trim the sails. See you in a few weeks.

 

Sincerely.

 

Richard Foye
