Please forward this information to your classmates and local WP Society – and leave additional comments at the slideshare site.  (You have to register to comment, but it’s benign!)
The results of the survey have been provided to Kim McDermott, AOG Director of Communications, who assures me they will be forwarded to the Museum Historical and Memorialization Committee.
Many thanks to all those who participated in the survey.

Any Cadets Out There?

January 23, 2009

If any cadets read this request, please forward it to others who might be interested in the issue of where the Patton statue should be installed this spring.  We’d like to include cadet opinions in our survey results.  So far, 70+ grads have expressed the opinion that Patton’s statue should be as close as possible to it’s original location near the library, where it can be seen by all cadets on a daily basis.  Opinions differ on whether the figure should face the library or the Plain. Please visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=5RRC36UCsc6RSiiELijbxg_3d_3d or http://tinyurl.com/c2ol2r to complete an unofficial survey of Cadets and graduates by an old grad to provide unsolicited input to the Museum Historical and Memorialization Committee re the new location for the Patton statue.

Thanks,
