I could not have been more proud of Admiral Farragut Academy

than I was during the week in April celebrating the 75th Anniversary. Yes, it was not Admiral Farragut Academy North nor Admiral Farragut Academy South, but Admiral Farragut Academy. The visit by the Captain from the USS Farragut (DDG-99), and crew members from both the new Farragut and the former USS Farragut, was arranged through the efforts of Howard Sakolsky, ‘47. The United States Navy Band, the Navy Jump Team, Brigadier General Charlie and Dottie Duke, ‘53, plus countless exhibits and events clearly established who we are, and where we are headed.

This was also the year that gave us the class of 2009, and a gift that hopefully will set the tone for many years ahead. The class of 2009 established a scholarship fund in the Foundation to provide, in the future, tuition aid to bright, talented, promising and deserving students based on financial need. As that fund grows it will support future cadets and instill in them the great traditions and support of previous graduates.

Clearly Admiral Farragut Academy today may not be the same school any one of us remember. Each of us have our own slice of Farragut, with

the many experiences, memories, and lessons learned, that helped shape our lives. Personally 2009 is also a special year, having entered Admiral Farragut Academy in Pine Beach in 1944, and being part of the first group of cadets to open the school in St. Petersburg in 1945. At last year’s Homecoming, I celebrated with the Class of 1949, 60 years since graduation. As proud as I am of Farragut, the greatest pride, however, comes from being part of a distinguished Alumni Corps, composed of members who have contributed so much to this nation, not only by their recorded accomplishments, but by just participating and making a difference in so many areas, including the military, arts and sciences, academia, politics, athletics, social services, business and finance to name but a few.

Someone recently asked me what is so great about Farragut and why do I spend time and financial resources in support of the school? I could, and often do, cite all kinds of statistics, outstanding graduates and countless reasons, why Farragut is so great. Preparing young men and women to use technologies that have not yet been identified, for use in jobs that do not yet exist, in order to solve problems we don’t even know we have, is not only stimulating, but Admiral Farragut Academy does it well. The opportunity to contribute to the welfare of this nation, by providing a full and well rounded education to the leaders of tomorrow is one worth taking.

The Academy has been showered with glory by the accomplishments of its distinguished Alumni, from

the ocean depths to walking on the moon, as well as every walk of life. But, like you and I, Farragut’s life is clearly ahead of it. We stand at a point in time where we have the opportunity to make Admiral Farragut Academy “the” premier Secondary School in the country. How do we do this? It is simple. It takes commitment, interest, participation and financial support by the Alumni. The primary reason the Admiral Farragut Academy Foundation was created was to provide a workable framework for harnessing the energy, spirit and dedication of those who will support and provide the financial resources necessary to reach the goals and objectives and sustain the mission of Admiral Farragut Academy. By being interested in your school and its goals, and by supporting the school with any level of contribution comfortable for you, collectively we can not only be proud that we attended Farragut, but also take pride in the fact that we helped build an institution that will make a difference. Like the lift off of Charlie Duke’s rocket to the moon, we can lift Farragut to new heights for the next 75 years.

CAPTÊRob ertÊJ .ÊFi ne,ÊJ r.Headmaster

Dear Alumni & Friends of Admiral Farragut Academy,

Thank you for your patience on the much-awaited "redeveloped" look and format of Reveille. Over the last several months so many of you have asked: "Whatever happened to Reveille?" I know the fear was Reveille would no longer be produced as an alumni communication tool. However I'm pleased to say this was never the intention and rather, our goal was to revamp the piece to have an appeal to a broader range of audiences. I am pleased to say that today I believe we have done exactly that. As we move forward, we realize greater reliance will need to be placed upon electronic communication for regular updates to our alumni, event notifications and frequent news. For that reason alone it's important for the Academy to have your current e-mail address. Reveille will be produced twice annually, with publication dates of winter/spring and summer/fall. We want this to be a publication that gives solid content beyond what we can usually convey by e-mail, provide in-depth coverage to many of the areas that make the school uniquely "Farragut", and has an appeal that extends to current parents, grandparents and friends of Farragut.

I understand our primary readership is you our alumni. And for that reason, I'd like to give you a glimpse of some of the features in this publication which will become regular elements.

Features to Look Forward to:

Faculty & Staff Focus- I am pleased to be able to introduce not only new faculty members who have recently joined the Academy family, but to give you information on some of the amazing people I have the privilege to work with side-by-side every day for the benefit of our cadets.

The AFA of Today- one of the most important things we have to share is what active programs are making a difference for our cadets today. These are the academic programs and opportunities that make the Farragut Experience unique.

Graduation Update- each year we will share with you some of the highlights of the commencement ceremony and an update on the college acceptance and placement of the cadets from recent graduating classes.

Active Military Update- we've been so fortunate to forge relationships with key individuals within our active military communities who are providing tremendous experiences and benefits for cadets today. One example of this is our close relationship with CDR Philip Sobeck of the USS Farragut DDG-99. Additionally, it's important for our school community to be keeping our thoughts and prayers with those alumni and family members who are currently serving as active military. We will provide frequent updates on the NJROTC Program and activities.

Alumni Association Presidents Perspective- in this issue we have the privilege of introducing you to our new Alumni Association president Dr. Butch Andrion '79S. Dr. Andrion is also a current parent with three daughters attending the Academy.

Alumni Spotlight - our alumni are doing some amazing things. Whether professionally or in-service to their communities and our country, we want you to share in the pride we feel in being able to call these men and women Farragut Alumni.

Alumni News- this is always a favorite area for our alumni, and a section of Reveille which is often read first. This portion of the magazine continues to increase in volume as more alumni reconnect with classmates. Eventually, we will need to move Alumni News as a feature accessed as an online publication or significantly increase the cost of producing Reveille to have alumni news be the predominant portion of each publication. Either way we are committed to helping each of you stay up to date with what is happening in the lives of your classmates.

Annual Report- this section will allow us to regularly update you on the fund raising efforts of both Admiral Farragut Academy and the Admiral Farragut Academy Foundation.

I am pleased to report I see alumni involvement on the increase. Hardly a week goes by we don't receive

a first-time gift to the Annual Fund from one of our alumni. Additionally attendance at alumni events has exceeded expectations. This year we had more than 70 in attendance at the Philadelphia regional gathering and a large group joined us for the Army/Navy game the next day. Nantucket provided a great location for a small regional gathering hosted by Ed and Wanda DeSeta

back in September. Homecoming was exceptionally well attended and plans are well underway this year for a Pine Beach reunion weekend, hosted by the Class of 1980N on April 10, and a South Florida golf hosted by our South Florida AFA Alumni group on April 23. The Alumni and Development team has already secured the dates for next year's Homecoming Weekend (November 4-6), the Philadelphia Army Navy game weekend (December 10-11) and the

possibility of a regional California gathering. I couldn't be more pleased.

I hope you will take the opportunity to become involved, and as a reader, whether you wear the hat of a "current parent", "grandparent", "alumni" or "friend of Farragut"-find a place of service, give of your resources to an area and in a manner important to you and make Admiral Farragut Academy a priority.

aculty & StaFF FocuSF Soaring BeyondFaculty Spotlight: LCDR Rob Ewing

By: Mary Ellen Collins

Rob Ewing was a child himself when he first understood the rewards of helping students. He read to younger students when he was in middle school, and in high school he helped tutor his friends who didn’t take to Math as easily as he did. “I started to realize the true sense of accomplishment you feel when you help

someone understand something for the first time.” After receiving his bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, he found his calling when he took a job as a program leader for the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches. It was the kids... “I called home at the end of my first day and told my mother I finally knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life,” he says. Ewing worked with middle school students on developing leadership skills, building self-confidence, and directing their energy in positive ways. He particularly enjoyed watching his kids change during their week at camp. “Most would come in like tough guys … many were in gangs … and most had never been outside of the inner city. But after a couple of days you could see them begin to relax and become kids again. We would have a campfire every night to discuss the day’s

If Dr. (Doc) Ross had followed his childhood career plan, he would have become a fireman. But

thanks to a wife who didn’t want to marry someone with such a dangerous job, thousands of students over five decades have benefited from Ross’ passion for the sea. Ross set the foundation for his lengthy career by studying Earth Sciences at Central Connecticut State University (then called Teachers College of Conn). He taught in the Connecticut schools for several years, eventually chairing the Science Department and teaching Oceanography in the West Hartford Public Schools. After receiving a Master’s degree in Oceanography and Meteorology at Central Connecticut, the tireless teacher juggled two jobs. “I taught Oceanography in the public schools, and then when school got out at 2:20 I headed over to the University to teach Earth Sciences two nights a week.”

Doc’s mode of operation doesn’t include much downtime. He went on to get a Ph.D. in Marine Science Education from the University of Massachusetts and received numerous National Science Foundation grants to do research in Oceanography. During the early 1960’s, Doc worked as a “Teaching Scientist” at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research in St. Georges, Bermuda. During the 5 years he was associated with this world famous research station, he had the opportunity to meet Dr. Roger Payne, Dr. Robert Ballard, known for his research with Titanic, and Jacques Cousteau Sr. He wrote the cover story for the first issue of Sea World’s magazine; and has written and produced five educational oceanography films, one of which won first prize in the International World Wildlife Film Foundation contest. He also spent time working in Sarasota with John Ott, the “father of full spectrum light,” doing research on how light affects certain medical conditions. In the 80’s, CAPT Moriarty invited Ross to teach Chemistry and Physics at AFA. “I said, ‘No way, Jose! But how about Oceanography?” That led to his first stint in the Farragut

Joe Sloan bears the title of Chief Information Officer. But ask any faculty, staff member or high school student on this campus and they will tell you Commander Sloan is our life-line to everything that

beeps or buzzes within our vastly expanding techno-world. Joe Sloan is not your typical “IT-guy” who lives to acquire the latest and greatest technical whiz-bang. “My goal is to make things simpler not more complicated. Simplicity usually leads to reliability, cost savings and legacy insurance,” says Sloan. Our goal at AFA is to escape from each individual computer being the keeper of documents, spreadsheets, stored data, and applications. Cloud Computing is the future for Admiral Farragut Academy. This means all applications and data storage become web-based and you are no longer tied to a specific vendor or solution locally. Computers become low cost, durable Internet appliances versus expensive, memory hogging machines. “Google Applications (Apps),” says Sloan, “and Gmail have revolutionized the way we work and communicate on this campus.”

“Two great benefits have resulted,” says Sloan. “No longer are we bound to one machine. And each year we are saving thousands of dollars by not having the cost of licensing fees affiliated with a network of machines using proprietary software, such as Microsoft products, nor the great cost of constantly upgrading hardware based upon the latest and greatest memory and speed demands of the latest version of the software.” These applications mimic their Microsoft counterparts, and are open source or free to educational institutions “It just takes a bit of getting used to,” says Sloan. For example, this article was collaboratively written by three people using Google Docs. In the years prior to coming to Farragut (11 years ago), Joe was an independent systems, services,

the ground running! Board member Richard DeWitt ‘65 originally contacted Ms. Cookson as a result of a conversation that he had with his daughter who had taken a Math class from her at Bryn Mawr College in Philadelphia. His daughter spoke very highly of her abilities and excellent teaching skills. As a result of that conversation, Richard contacted Ms. Cookson and explained the Academy was actively developing its STEM program (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and needed a seasoned professional to lead the charge for mathematics. It was there that he discovered that Ms. Cookson’s resumé not only included 26 years as a mathematics educator in both public and

private colleges and high schools, but a great deal more! She was involved in admissions for seven years; teacher education for fourteen, and evaluated student proficiency for placement into correct courses for almost twenty! During her nineteen years at Bryn Mawr she received the prestigious Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching. “I consider this my Oscar award for teaching mathematics,” says Mary Louise. She is listed in Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers; and was named in The Insider’s Guide to Colleges as a “most popular professor.” “Richard is very persuasive no doubt,” says Mary Louise. However, the most compelling reason she came to the Academy was the students. “More than anything I love my interaction with students,” she says. “I couldn’t stand the thought of not having student interaction on a regular basis.” Mary Louise herself is a parent, with a twenty-nine year old son and a daughter who is twenty-seven. Her personal mission for the Math department is to make certain that each and every student leave

challenges and talk about our lives … and you could hear in their voices how special it was for them to have someone listen to them or to know the kid across the fire was going through the same things.” After a year and a half an opportunity opened to join the Farragut team, where he taught physics, physical science, anatomy, physiology, and one aviation elective during his first year. In eleven years, Ewing and Jose Hercher, math teacher and retired airline captain, have developed a comprehensive aviation program that includes staff-instructed flight training, and is available to middle and upper school students. Ewing now directs the Aviation Academy and has personally flown with more than 300 students. Not all students who take flight training pursue an aviation career, but Ewing believes the skills developed in the program will be an asset in any field. “I’ve always felt that when a student learns to fly a plane solo, it makes other challenges much

more achievable. Teaching them responsibility, and how to handle so many challenging things at once, puts things in perspective. Not many seventeen year olds know how to fly an airplane, and it gives them a higher level of self-confidence and a tremendous advantage.” Ewing’s obvious enthusiasm for helping young people discover the world of aviation will no doubt leave a lasting impression on hundreds of young pilots, no matter what career they choose. He says he considers himself a success as a teacher if his students leave “competent and happy.”

community, where he taught Oceanography for five years until moving to The Dana Point Marine Institute in California, and then on to teach Oceanography at the Kennesaw State University to be closer to his daughter in Georgia. He returned to Florida and to Admiral Farragut Academy in 2004. “I walked into Farragut,

saw CAPT Fine and said ‘You want to hire an Oceanography teacher?’” An affirmative answer landed Ross right back where he loves to be – in the classroom and on the water. “Having access to the sea and the waterfront is a great way to teach Oceanography. I start every year by telling the students, ‘I never worked a day in my life. I went to a job every day and I got paid, but I didn’t work.’ I tell them, ‘You’re going to live a long time, so try to find a career you have a passion for. I think that’s what I’ve been doing all along – instilling the passion I have for the sea in the kids. And it seems to work.” Ross provides students with hands-on research

opportunities that help to develop critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills that provide a valuable foundation for any career. He’s particularly proud of the money they saved the Academy before dredging the basin. “CAPT Fine asked me to figure out how much mud was in there. My kids took core samples, and using laser beams and satellite photos, they calculated the amount of mud. It turned out to be only half of what the dredging company had estimated.”Former students who’ve gone into a variety of careers often credit Ross as being one of their favorite teachers, and for developing their interest and awareness in issues like global warming. Fifty years after graduating from college, Ross still finds his own learning opportunities everywhere he goes. And maybe that quality of being an enthusiastic lifelong student keeps him young. “I learned how to learn in college, but my most significant education has resulted from my life experiences,” he explains. “Farragut is the most exciting place. We have the STEM initiative here – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math – and I’ve learned so much about computers and technology. My wife and I were just at school asking the media specialist to teach us some tricks with the SMART Board. I would never have these learning opportunities if I was not associated with Admiral Farragut Academy.

and networking contractor for over a decade. Joe has worked with the Marshall Space Flight Center, NASA, Ryder International, The Corps of Engineers, the Army Missile Command Center and

their sub contractors. Shortly after the Shuttle disaster, he was part of a project contracted to investigate the use of a computerized system for the inspection of the solid rocket booster seals of the Shuttle at a time when there was no such thing as a truly “portable” computer to perform the inspection task. He worked closely on the Patriot Missile defense systems

deployed during Operation Desert Storm. His role was to integrate the rack-mounted computer support module of those systems, so that it could sustain the incredibly abusive conditions presented by the hostile desert environment. Over the last several years AFA has found itself on the forefront of leading the movement towards more, rather than less, access to the Internet on campus. Says Sloan, “Many schools work incredibly hard to restrict students access to the Internet. We have found it to be much more productive to teach them how best to avoid the pitfalls and use the Internet for the wealth of information it contains.” "I am proud to be associated with an institution such as AFA, that is not afraid to be a voice of influence to our educational culture, to discover and use technology in the most cost effective manner. As educators, when we think we know all we need to know and are not willing to learn, we are of limited use to this generation as mentors for their future.”

proficient in math, and to provide whatever is necessary for students to succeed. She is a strong proponent of mathematics leading to success in every walk of life. “I have seen it happen so many times and it is substantiated in study after study,” she says. “When mastered, math can be one of the greatest indicators of success. “Math skills will take you further faster.” She’s also a great believer in the analytical thought process which is fostered by math. The problem-solving skills which will serve students long after they’ve forgotten formulas is so pervasive. “With mastery of math, a student develops a brain that will work, regardless of the challenges presented.” Coming mid-year, one might think that Mary Louise would be at a disadvantage. “I listen very carefully to the concerns of parents, my colleagues, administrators, and most importantly--- I listen to my students.” Mary Louise strongly believes that the best ideas in education ultimately come from students. “I am also committed to putting into place academic support for mathematics education. Other than the time that each faculty member can give, there has to be a more elaborate structure of academic support for the mathematics courses which are currently offered.” Students are now tutoring each other and discussions of mathematics are a frequent occurrence. Only several weeks after Mary Louise’s arrival at AFA, eighteen students were inducted as charter members of

Mu Alpha Theta, the national high school mathematics honor society. Part of the regular requirements for our Mu Alpha Theta students is to actively be involved in tutoring those students who need more in-depth assistance. In addition, Mary Louise has enrolled Admiral Farragut Academy in the Florida Mathematics League, where our students have begun to participate in monthly competition tests along with other high school students across the nation. Mary Louise is committed to providing ongoing stimulation for her faculty members through professional development conferences. As a result, two of her math department colleagues will be attending the 2010 Florida Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference in Orlando. “I understand that if Admiral Farragut Academy is to excel as a STEM school, then mastery of mathematics by students at all levels and ability must be a top priority. I’m prepared to make that happen.”

Graduation UpdateClass of 2009

Each graduating class is full of future scholars, industry leaders and professionals who cherish their formative years at Admiral Farragut Academy and credit the instruction they received for their success. The class of 2009 are no different and demonstrated the value they place on the Farragut Experience by donating their senior gift to the school endowment fund, ensuring a scholarship in their name for future graduates.

Pursuing a college career is a top goal for students leaving Admiral Farragut Academy and the class of 2009 certainly showed their true promise by committing to attend top institutions within Florida, the nation and beyond. Valedictorian

Maria Meana left Admiral Farragut Academy on May 16, with diploma in hand only to head immediately to Uruguay to begin a medical program at the Facultad

De Medicina CLAEH is in Punta del Este, Maldonado. This selective program required Maria to balance her seven Advanced Placement courses with placement examination preparation and a demanding interview process. Salutorian Rachel Cone is attending Claremont McKenna University in California via an Army ROTC scholarship.

Often graduates of Admiral Farragut Academy choose to pursue a military career and the class of 2009 will represent our nation throughout the world and will prepare for their service careers by attending the Naval Academy, The Citadel, Marine Corps ROTC, Merchant Marine Academy, Maine Maritime Academy, Navy ROTC, Army ROTC, Massachussetts Maritime Academy, and Virginia Military Institute. We look foward to seeing our graduates thrive at the highest levels of academia and service.

Complimenting their top grades, nearly $4,000,000 in scholarships and awards were earned by the class of 2009 ranging from the Florida Bright Futures award to athletic awards in soccer, wrestling and golf. The teamwork and leadership skills developed while attending Admiral Farragut Academy will serve all these cadets in good stead for their future.

On the surface today’s Admiral Farragut Academy might look

a little different from what you remember, but rest assured, we are still one of our nation’s top JROTC college preparatory schools; proudly placing 32 young men and women into our nation’s service academies, and sending 77 to such fine schools as Cornell, Vanderbilt and The Citadel on ROTC scholarships in recent years.

While facility maintenance and improvements quietly continue to give us a fresh new look, our faculty and administration focus their attention on performance and curriculum development; assuring those of us who are now alums, Farragut’s finereputation and rich history will never be compromised.

Implementing our military structure as a means of teaching Farragut’s core values of Integrity, Self Discipline, Perseverance, Wellness and Fitness, 375 cadets from 17 States and 16 Countries have found themselves in a fertile environment in which to maximize their potential and probability of success!

With more than 60% of our faculty holding advanced degrees, today’s cadet has more opportunities than ever! In addition to the standard college preparatory curriculum, AFA now offers a Leadership Academy, Marine Science Academy, and an

Aviation Academy which are staffed and led by teachers who are experts in those areas. Mr. Jon Ducommun ‘09, for example, graduated the morning of May 16, 2009 from AFA. That afternoon, Mr. Ducommun took to the skies in his final check ride with the FAA and received his private pilot’s license. Jon had been a member of the very first Aviation Academy class, in which he engaged in flight and ground training three periods a day over the course of the year. The Aviation Academy offers curriculum for cadets in grades 8-12 , and is currently engaged in discussions with Embry-Riddle regarding a possible alliance. Recently Mr. & Mrs. Al Ross ‘49 donated funds for the school to purchase a custom designed Marine Science research vessel. This vessel will be the main focus of our 2010 Marine Science Academy, and is designed to allow students easy access to the water for SCUBA and aquaculture collection trips. Thanks to Dr. Rossignol’s Academic Chair grant for 2009 and AFA Marine Biology teachers Amy Carboni and Scott Davenport, curricula like Marine Ichthyology and Research SCUBA will now add to an already strong Marine Science program, and will jump start our planned improvements to our waterfront. As computers continue to play an even greater part in a student’s life,

...of today Farragut issues each new cadet an Acer Aspire One Netbook with access to AFA’s “Google Cloud.” With nearly 95% of our 34 acre campus exposed to our private wireless network, each student has access to his online world from virtually anywhere on campus!

Using Google as the backbone of our Internet infrastructure, we continue our “green” movement by using its mail and document services daily. This allows each student to communicate with his cloud (documents, calendars, contacts) from anywhere he is able to access an Internet connection. A student’s documents are no longer stuck on one computer and printed in order to be proof read or submitted to the teacher. With G-Docs, as they are called, a student can share his documents with his peers or teachers and allow them to either “edit” or “view”.

With STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) serving as our academic overlay, today’s AFA is committed to hiring only the best to teach in our ever improving facilities; using leading edge technology and innovative thinking in an ever present environment of military structure and principles. keenly aware of that, as George Michel ‘49 so profoundly put it, “... we are educating young men and women to solve problems, that we don’t yet know exist, using technology that has not been invented.”

I am frequently asked why we have two distinctly different organizations

involved in fund raising for the school and what is the role of each organization? Perhaps answering this question using the framework of and Who, What, and Where will offer clarity regarding the respective roles of the Academy and the Foundation. On the page to the right you’ll see a diagram that visually shows the process.

Who: For any fund raising effort the most important place to start is to address “who” are the people and organizations willing and able to support Admiral Farragut Academy and the Foundation. The Academy and the Foundation are very fortunate to have a large base of potential donors through our current parents, our alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, friends and corporate donors. Within each of these groups are segmented audiences to which specific fundraising appeals are directed. Everyone does not receive every appeal.

What: We achieve fund raising results through campaigns to request funds for specific purposes from specific groups of potential or known donors. In general these campaigns are divided into three large groups. First, the Annual Fund Campaign, which is received by everyone and provides for the operation of the school. Fund raising for this purpose allows us to keep tuition at a reasonable level. Few schools are able to run their institutions from tuition alone. Second, Specialty Campaigns provide opportunities for individuals to give in support of programs or initiatives that are personally important to them. Some of the Specialty Campaigns which are currently underway include fundraising for the Sailing Team, the Aviation Academy, the Marine Science Academy, the construction and completion of the Huntley Memorial Sports Complex, and the continued efforts for Dormitory Refurbishment.

Third, is the Endowment Funds of the Foundation. Some of the campaigns for the Foundation include the Coaches Slaby and Nicholson Athletic Endowment Fund, The William R. Masciangelo, Sr. Fund for Student Enrichment, the Board of Directors Academic Chair Fund and the General Endowment for financial aid. We recognize that for long-term stability we must aggressively work to build these endowment funds and others. Information on each of the specific programs is available through our website at www.Farragut.org

Where: The “where” in this case becomes the two organizations which manage contributions - Admiral Farragut Academy and the Admiral Farragut Academy Foundation. In general, the Academy receives contributions which are to be used within the school’s fiscal year. If a donor makes a gift with more long-term intentions, this type of gift will be directed to one of

the restricted or unrestricted funds of the Foundation. These contributions become a part of the Foundation’s endowment. By definition, the investment income generated by the Foundation is given annually to the Academy. In the case of restricted gifts, the income generated by these gifts can only be used for the specific purpose. Admiral Farragut Academy is the only

beneficiary of the Foundation’s endowment and as such, the endowment serves as a source of financial strength and stability for the Academy.

It’s important that our donors are well-informed on exactly where their gifts are being put to work. Each year through Reveille and other means, we will work hard to showcase how gifts given in support of the Academy and the Foundation are being used for the benefit of our students and cadets. If you haven’t made your gift to the Annual Fund yet, please do so today using the enclosed envelope. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 727-343-3678 or [email protected].

Bringing the alumni of Admiral Farragut Academy together and helping them to remain connected is the heart of our mission as the Alumni Association. We work to accomplish this through the events and programs that take place each year.

In this issue of Reveille we have covered many of the functions and activities that were held throughout 2009. These activities ranged from the 75th Anniversary Celebration, to the Philly Army/Navy Game Weekend (our largest ever) to smaller gatherings hosted by individual alumni and even the Change of Command ceremony for RADM Mark Buzby ‘75 on the USN Comfort.

For 2010 additional programs and events are already underway which are high-lighted in this issue. It takes a lot of work to make these events happen and I would encourage you to take advantage of the offerings which are continuously available. We anticipate expanding alumni events to the West Coast (California) in the spring of 2011. Some of the greatest experiences that I have had in recent years revolve around reconnecting with my Farragut classmates.

There is also another way we encourage our alumni involvement in determining the school’s future and that is through The Admiral Farragut Academy Foundation. The primary goal of the Foundation is to help ensure that the financial resources are available for Farragut for the next 75 years and beyond. I feel so strongly about this priority that effective January 2010, I volunteered to fill the role of Foundation President, succeeding George Michel who held this

position since the Foundation was established in 1997. The Foundation was established as a separate 501(c)(3) organization from the school for the purpose of generating support for the Academy. I look forward to working with Robb Resler, who aside from serving as Alumni & Development Director, also wears the hat of Executive Director for the Foundation. Together and with the help of the Foundation Board and staff I expect to address such things as maximizing our investment returns, expanding the number of Foundation Board

members, generating periodic reports on the Foundations revenue, and distribution of revenue. We have the opportunity to accomplish incredible work through the Foundation. Expect to be hearing more from me in the near future about Foundation opportunities.

I’m pleased to welcome our incoming Alumni Association President, Dr. Albert “Butch” Andrion ‘79S. Butch was elected this last Homecoming and will take his place in the long line of Presidents effective July 1,

2010. He is introduced further in this issue of Reveille with his own article. Butch and I will be working closely as we move forward with the Alumni Association and the Foundation activities.

I’d also like to thank the Alumni & Development team for the new look to Reveille and the rich content. It is a labor of love and I have encouraged them that we alums love Reveille and enjoy reading it cover to cover.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the Pine Beach/Toms River Gathering on April 10th. In the meantime if I can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

With the 2007-08 school year, the Foundation began its first efforts to initiate a series of Directed Endowment Campaigns. The first two such campaigns included the Board of Directors Academic Chair for Physical Science and the Rossignol Academic Chair in Science.

More recently, during the 75th Anniversary Celebration, the Coaches Slaby and Nicholson Athletic Endowment Fund was created; with the proceeds to be used to purchase athletic equipment, supplies and maintaining the athletic facilities.

During the 2009 Homecoming Celebration the William R. Masciangelo, Sr. Student Enrichment Fund was additionally unveiled with the proceeds from this fund to be used for the primary needs of the Academy and tuition needs of its cadets. We are particularly

appreciative of Frank Wendt ‘42, who has been the moving force behind establishing this fund in memory of “Masci” and currently has put forth a $25,000 match for this fund. Additional early donors to the “Masci Fund” include Ed ‘67 & Wanda DeSeta, John ‘41 & Barbara Gardella, & Donald Schreiber ‘46.

Following are the donors who have contributed so generously to the “Coaches Fund.”

We are seeking additional gifts for both of these campaigns and ask your consideration to give generously using the envelope provided in this issue of Reveille. If you have any questions please contact Robb Resler, Alumni & Development Director - (727) 343-3678 or [email protected]

Heritage “100” SocietyAdmiral Farragut Academy has stood for three-quarters of a century. During that time we have never wavered from our mission to instill the core values of integrity, self-discipline, perseverance and wellness & fitness in the lives of young men and women. We measure our success not by our own accomplishments, but that of our cadets. Our ability to continue to affect and impact each future generation is dependent upon the direct involvement of those who understand and value the Farragut Experience.

Heritage Society membership indicates that Admiral Farragut Academy and/or the Foundation is included in the estate giving plans of a donor. Some will give through a simple bequest by way of their will, others will transfer the ownership of life insurance or still others will elect to use one of the many options available through various trust arrangements. The method is not as important as the decision.

The Heritage “100” Society is designed to recognize the first-100 donors who have chosen to become Heritage Society members. Following are the names of those who have notified us of their intentions to be among the first-100.

Heritage Society1- Frank P. Wendt ‘422- George J. Michel, Jr. ‘493- Katherine Harper4- Robert J. Fine, Jr. AFA5- Richard G. Wheeler, AFA6- Joseph “Chris” Slusher ‘877- Edward B. DeSeta ‘678- Don Schreiber ‘46

If you have included the Academy or the Foundation in your estate plans then you are already a part of the Heritage “100” Society and we want to recognize you. Each donor who makes this commitment will be designated a numeric position within the first-100. Only one donor will ever hold each numeric position.

For more information or to notify us of your estate plan arrangements, please contact Robb Resler, Alumni & Development Director, [email protected] or 727-343-3678.

One hundred donors will impact Admiral Farragut Academy forever and always. Will you be among the “first-100?” Let us know today.

It is my pleasure to be stepping into the role of Alumni Association President for Admiral Farragut Academy. I am a strong believer in the core “Farragut” values which have been instilled in each of us as members of the Alumni Community, and am looking forward to serving my fellow alumni in this capacity.

Currently, I have 3 daughters enrolled at Farragut, and one 2008 alumna, Amanda, who is now attending the University of South Florida and majoring in Political Science. For nearly 30 years I have lived in the greater St. Petersburg area, but it was not until Amanda graduated that I became involved with the Alumni & Development Staff. Our Alumni team relentlessly searches for information on “lost cadets” and continually creates opportunities to reunite class members. It is my goal to assist them in this effort.

I want to encourage each of you who live in or are visiting the Greater Tampa Bay area to visit Admiral Farragut Academy’s Alumni Centre and AFA museum. By reading Reveille or visiting www.farragut.org, you will get but a glimpse of AFA today. To get a true perspective, you

owe it to yourself to plan on attending one or more Alumni campus events or regional gatherings in the near future.

Please remember to thank Christian Wagner ‘82, your previous Alumni President, for his unselfish dedication and service to the Alumni Association and the Academy as a whole. Now assuming the role of the AFA Foundation President, Christian will oversee and nurture the growth of our Academy’s endowment. The growth of our endowment is a top priority and vital for Farragut’s sustainability and ability to teach Farragut’s core values till perpetuity. Congratulations Christian, and thank you.

S P O T L I G H T “I am indebted to the Farragut Faculty and staff who together helped transform a thirteen year old into a decisive young man able to make his own decisions with confidence. Hence, I want to “give back” through contributions to The Slaby and Masciangelo Scholarship Funds, the Annual Farragut Funds, and finally through a legacy grant established by my wife, Barbara, and me, to the Admiral Farragut Academy Foundation as a significant portion of our Estate Plan. ~ Mr. Frank Wendt ‘42

S P O T L I G H T“Giving back to AFA is an important part of my regular budget. After all, the education and life experience I received at Farragut provided me with the foundation on which I built my professional and personal life. If I had not received some scholarship money, my family may not have been able to continue my education at AFA. If there were not others who gave back, I may not be where I am today! When it comes to providing others with opportunity there is no gesture that’s to small!”

If you joined us on campus during our 75th Anniversary Celebration, you hopefully had the opportunity to meet CDR Philip Sobeck of the USS Farragut DDG-99 and members of her crew at a campus luncheon honoring the same. Thanks to the hard work of Howard Sakolsky ‘47, CDR Sobeck has remained actively involved with Farragut and her cadets ever since.

In late Oct. 2009, CDR Sobeck invited our Armed Exhibition Drill Team to perform for the USS Farragut’s crew and guests. In December, accompanied by Command Master Chief C.J. Mitchell, CDR Sobeck joined us in Philadelphia for our Alumni Gathering at the Union League.

Currently patroling the waters off South Africa and Somalia for pirates and terrorist threats, CDR

Sobeck recently sent photos to our 5th Grade Class who are following the USS Farragut in a program they call, “Where in the world is the USS Farragut”.

Our gratitude, thoughts and best wishes are with CDR Sobeck and the entire crew of the USS Farragut.

I had met briefly while at AFA re-union 2007 with people in your ESL/Languages dept ... they had a phonics program with cards and tapes from a Florida based learning/educator group ... and cannot remember name of that program ... the colored flash cards sure looked enticing ... might you ask those kind folks for me what that program might have been?

That’s because Thompson, a graduate student at Austin College, is 61-years-old.By taking the field against Trinity on Saturday, Thompson became the oldest player in college football his-tory. The 61-year-old kicker, who is in his second year at Austin College, ran onto the field early in the second quarter after the ’Roos scored on a 47-yard-run by freshman Phillip Gon-zales, and drilled the extra point to tie the game at 7-7.

Big hellos and apologies for not keeping in touch to Dave Bowser, Dave Ellinor, Kris Irr, Mike Nuccio and all of my brothers from the best class Farragut has ever had, 1980. Recently got together with Dan Medina, who is doing so well. We had so much fun remembering Firesign Theater, old record albums and the friendships that will never die from AFA. Can’t wait to “reunion-ize” witchoo all. Miss you very much. Thanks to all at Farragut for keeping the place going and clearly continuing to set the bar higher for our posterity! Anyone wanna do a reunion KDIS? I can hear “Free Bird” even now.”

Mr. Millard also sent us this note after he happened to run into a group of our students in Washington, D.C. over our Thanksgiving Break.“I live in South Florida but have been deployed since April to Washington, DC. This past week on Wednesday my wife and daughter were visiting from Florida and we visited the Smithsonian.

Afterwards we went to a restaurant not far away and I met Mr. and Mrs. Steve Edwards- who were both dressed from head to toe on Farragut attire (and looked smashing, I might add). In introduced myself and we shared a table for dinner. During our talk Steve ex-plained he was there with 10 cadets who couldn’t go home for Thanksgiving, for one reason or another, and he explained about some of the awesome events the cadets got to attend and see in DC.Sir, it made my heart swell to see that kind of care for cadets. I myself spent a lonely Thanksgiving at Farragut as a young teenager, and I know others from my generation who had nowhere to go either. The fact the school has had the forethought to provide a vacation for those less fortunate (by timing or whatever) is a real gift and I am proud of your initiative.From my dicussion it appears Mr. and Mrs. Edwards are perfect additions to the faculty, and should be commended for their hard work in making this event the success I am sure it was. If I am still here next year, I hope you will con-tact me about assisting at some event that might be beneficial and appropriate for me to help the cadets.”
