Reunion Breakfast

The University of Rochester hosted a breakfast buffet on Saturday morning. It was attended by about 40 alumni who were interested in hearing former Secretary of the Navy (2006-2009) Donald Winter. Mr. Winter also graduated from UR in 1969 with a degree in Physics. Mrs. Winter, also a UR grad, was with him.

Mr. Winter spoke for a short while about his perspective and experiences as SECNAV. He also made some comments about "giving back," referring to Edgar Bronfman's book, "The Third Act."

Though several former NROTC Unit instructors had been contacted: Chris Schellhorn, Chris Panos and Dewey Whitmire, among them, the only one who was able to attend the reunion was Greg Matthes. Now a retired CDR, Greg teaches physics in Springfield, VA. He was an instructor when I arrive at UR in the fall of 76 and clearly remembered many of his former students from the years he was at the Unit.
