Texas Gulf Coast Chapter of the United States Naval Academy Alumni Host Coach Walker

May 2, I was honored by Ed Klein and Dan Holsberg to be asked to present Jack's story and my visit to Iwo before the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter of the Naval Academy alumni. Standing before such an elite group of Americans ranks up there with some of the more memorable events of my teaching and coaching career.

No doubt Jack's story is one of inspiration. Thanks to Jay Hickman of Elmore Public Relations in Houston for the documentation of the luncheon's powerpoint presentation.

I am looking forward to the August release of the Leatherneck article regarding Jack's Marine Corps experience - the time and sacrifice that is the cornerstone of the Jack Chevigny story.
