A MESSAGE FROM THE

PRESIDENT RADM J. SCOTT BURHOE, USCG (Ret.)

There are too few places where young men can get what they really need to succeed in today’s world. We still emphasize respect, integrity, faith, character, and discipline. These values are modeled by our faculty and staff, and cadets learn by observing our Christian walk, and listening to our talk. Fork Union Military Academy provides a sanctuary built on old fashioned, time-tested values. We require all cadets to be physically fit, and our academic offerings are always challenging. We also remain a crucible, despite what some may say about “cadet life today.” Fork Union is more challenging than ever, and still influences young men to grow and make difficult decisions. Too many young men today want to find the easy path to success. At Fork Union that success is earned. Success requires personal sacrifice and effort, and it also requires courage. This year I’ve written several letters of recommendation for cadets who are thriving in an environment that expects so much, and challenges them to become their very best. Our reputation for excellence grows each year. Your generosity last year allowed us to continue educating, developing, and inspiring young men in this college preparatory, Christian, military environment. Your gifts helped cadets build character and learn leadership, independence, confidence, and responsibility. Along the way, cadets also made friends who will be lifelong brothers. This hasn’t changed, and it never will. We need your support now more than ever. We continue to attract high quality people to work and study here. For the time being, we remain debt free, and the campus provides a welcoming first impression, but there is much work to be done. Aristotle said: “To give away money is an easy matter...and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large and when, for what purpose and how, is neither in every man’s power nor an easy matter. Hence it is that such excellence is rare, praiseworthy and noble.” We ask you to help us maintain that excellence. Thank you for investing in the future by investing in Fork Union Military Academy. Go FUMA! RADM J. Scott Burhoe, USCG (Ret.) President Fork Union Military Academy

A Weekend to Remember... Fork Union Military Academy 2016 Sports Hall of Fame

In June 2016, Fork Union Military Academy hosted its 7th Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. The weekend brought numerous alumni and friends back to campus and to Charlottesville, VA, to celebrate Fork Union Athletics, as well as the accomplishments and successes of the men who were inducted. The event was highlighted by a star-studded induction class, which included current General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, John Dorsey ‘80; three-time Super Bowl winning linebacker, Robert Jones ‘88; an instrumental part of the Carolina Panthers early success, the late Jon Richardson ’78; and one of the all-time great basketball players for Virginia Tech, Dale Solomon ‘78. The weekend kicked off on Friday, June 23rd at Old Trail Golf Club in Crozet, VA, with a golf tournament. Thanks to over 25 sponsors the golf tournament, weekend and silent auction helped raise funds for the Fletcher Arritt, William Blair and R. L. “Red” Pulliam Scholarship Funds. The Academy is thankful for all the sponsors but especially our title sponsor Virginia Propane, and other lead sponsors, Hi-Test laboratories and Under Armour. The tournament drew more than fifteen teams, who enjoyed both the beautiful course and competition. After the tournament, teams, the inductees, and their families enjoyed dinner and a silent auction. Saturday morning featured a brunch, followed by a question and answer session with the 2016 inductee class. The Q&A was one of the highlights of the weekend, as a crowd of over 100 had the opportunity to listen to Dorsey, Jones, Johnson Richardson (Jon’s son), and Solomon explain what Fork Union meant to them, and how it helped guide them on their respective paths to

athletic success. This friendly event allowed former staff, fellow inductees, and classmates to enjoy time with one another, and for the inductees to answer questions about their experiences and successes. The induction ceremony and banquet were held Saturday night at the Doubletree Hotel in Charlottesville. Before the ceremony began, Brooks Berry ’97, Fork Union’s new Athletics Director, announced the creation of the Micky Sullivan Coach of the Year Award. Sponsored by former classmates and players of Coach Micky Sullivan ‘66, who wished to honor and celebrate Coach Sullivan’s legacy and success. The award will be presented to a hard working Fork Union Coach each year, and will provide added support for their athletic program, helping to advance athletics at Fork Union. The first recipient of the Micky Sullivan Coach of the Year Award, was Coach Winston Brown, Fork Union’s Track and Cross Country coach. Coach Brown has been very successful in creating teams that are nationally renowned, hardworking, and dedicated. The ceremony opened with a special presentation of the Col. R. L. Pulliam Distinguished Leadership Award. Presented this year to Mr. William J. Vakos Jr., the R. L. Pulliam Award is the highest honor that the Academy can award an individual. It is presented to those who display outstanding leadership and make significant contributions toward the betterment of Fork Union Military Academy. Mr. Vakos has served on the Board of Trustees since 1985, and as the chairman since 1995. He has led the Academy though numerous capital improvements, including the completion of Jacobson Hall and the recent Campus Master Plan. Upon receiving his award, Vakos spoke about the things 5

“Fork Union Athletics have become a cornerstone of Body, Mind, Spirit…the motto that is emblazoned on the FUMA crest that is apparent here tonight as we recognize our four inductees, the FUMA Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2016. While their achievements in sports and sports business are diverse, I think the common thread that binds these men is the sheer excellence that they each represent beyond sports as the highest-quality individuals, forever representatives of the standards that are desired by Fork Union Military Academy for the men that have worn its uniforms.” -Will Blair ‘86 he has learned form both his fellow Trustees and Fork Union: “Serving with Trustees who were my moms, dads, brothers, sisters and who taught me how to be a Christian gentleman. They nourished Mary and me with their love and example and word and deed by being who they were and are: exceptional people of faith, experienced, smart and clever, but without guile or personal agenda, strong of character and with a deep love for the Lord...From our fantastic Faculty and Staff, I learned sacrificial giving, humility, perseverance, grace, kindness, and caring and genuine love for our cadets and for each other...our current cadets and alums: you have taught me dedication to principals you have learned here and taught me strength of character in times of challenge.” The ceremony was emceed by Will Blair ‘86, son of longtime coach, teacher, and mentor Coach Blair ‘49.Blair shared stories about the connections he had with John Dorsey and Dale Solomon, having watched them compete when he was just a boy at Fork Union, and learning from them what it meant to be a FUMA cadet. He reminisced about how he was there the day John Dorsey dunked his first basketball, even though he was a pro linebacker, and how he used to sneak in and try on Dale Solomon’s huge #45 jersey. He spoke of how Robert Jones, as a player and leader, was a special talent with tenacity, who overcame so much to ensure his future. He remembered Jon Richardson, of how much he meant to so many, and of the special bond that Jon and Coach Pulliam shared. John Dorsey ‘80, was the first of the inductees to take the stage. Dorsey played for the Green Bay Packers from19911996, then served as their Director of College Scouting. He moved on to become the Director of Professional Personnel for the Seattle Seahawks, and now serves as the General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs. Dorsey moved the crowd with his passionate message about what the Academy stands for, and his love for Coach 6

Pulliam. “He [Coach Pulliam] embodied everything that Fork Union represented as I looked at it, and that’s that motto, ‘Body, Mind, and Spirit’…You know, he taught me with tough love that phrase, ‘Body, Mind, Spirit.’ But he changed my outlook. He changed my passion. He changed my drive…I will stand here today and tell you, these three simple words are a driver within my life every day, and will be for the rest of my journey.” Pulliam’s legacy and his impact on young men and the Academy would continue to be celebrated and remembered throughout the night. Robert Jones ’88, another talented linebacker, was drafted in the first round by the Dallas Cowboys, after playing at East Carolina University for four years. He won three Superbowl rings with the Cowboys and played for three other NFL teams during a ten year NFL career. At first, Jones was not sure what Fork Union would hold for him and, in the early days, he was not sure he would make it. However, he learned perseverance and thrived. “This was the place that taught me what hard work was. This was the place that taught me how to stick through and fight through things and not give up. I just want to say it taught me how to be that dad with endurance, that husband with endurance. Me and my wife have a business; we do janitorial and industrial supplies. And starting this business was not easy, but the principles and things I learned from this school, have taught me how to keep going and keep pushing.” Dale Solomon ’78, was a standout Blue Devil who went on to play for Virginia Tech, and still holds the record for the most points scored by a freshman. Solomon played professionally in Italy for 12 years and is one of the most recognized and respected basketball players in Italian history.

me like it did for so many other cadets.” He noted too, that he still has some old Fork Union habits, “Believe it or not, I still fold my clothes the same way and make my bed the same way. My wife gets on my nerves when she tells me about folding my clothes, but I fold everything in the house. Fork Union was a great experience for me. If I could do it all again, I’d do it tomorrow.” Jon Richardson ’78, was the President of Panthers Stadium LLC from its inception until 2009, helping develop and build one of the most recognized and renowned facilities in the National Football League. Sadly, in 2013 Jon Richardson lost his battle with cancer, but his legacy and impact on Fork Union lives on. Having served as a Trustee, Richardson supported the school in any way he could, even sending truckloads of Panthers practice uniforms for the football teams to use whenever there was a need. Richardson’s widow, Kathleen Richardson, accepted the honor on his behalf, sharing with everyone the impact the Academy had on his life. “Jon so loved Fork Union. This was such a special, special place to him. He often cited his PG year here as one of the most transformative experiences of his life. While Jon was always a man of honor, integrity, and faith, his time here supported those values and helped reinforce the discipline and hard work that he consistently applied to all areas of both his personal and his professional life.”

needed scholarship support, and will help a new generation of young men grow and learn the way Richardson did. Mr. & Mrs. Richardson wrote to Fork Union about their gift and the decision to honor and celebrate their son’s memory, “At Fork Union, he learned the kind of discipline, the meaning of commitment, and the bonds of trust that served him so well. Fork Union was more than a beautifully situated campus that Jon called home for a year. It was a part of his being that stayed with him throughout his life.” The Academy was thrilled to host such an eventful and exciting weekend with all those who returned to campus to celebrate four extremely special Fork Union alumni. “When we first decided to focus our efforts on planning the 2016 FUMA Sports Hall of Fame, I’m not sure that any of us knew exactly what to expect. It definitely exceeded all of our expectations on every level,” said former Director of Alumni Relations, Spencer Percy. It truly was a special event, which highlighted so many great men; men of respect, integrity, faith, character, and discipline. The weekend celebrated not only the four inductees, but all the Fork Union alumni, coaches, and faculty who remind us each day why Fork Union Military Academy is a place unlike any other in this great nation.

After Richardson’s passing, the Academy and his family established the Jon Richardson Access Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to a young man who demonstrates a need and a desire to attend Fork Union. Although Richardson’s parents could not attend the induction ceremony, to celebrate their son, Jerry and Rosalind Richardson committed to a gift of $750,000 to grow Richardson’s scholarship fund. This generous gift will provide much

After being introduced, Solomon stated, “I should be applauding you. It is because of Fork Union that I am standing up here today…Fork Union paved the way for 7

Spotlight On Planned Giving Supporting the

Carol Wall Scholarship Carol Wall fell in love with Fork Union on a hot Saturday afternoon in August 2002. She and her husband, Dick, were on their way back to their home in Roanoke after attending a wedding in Richmond. Several months before, their son, Phil—the youngest of three Wall children and the last to leave the “nest”—had accepted an invitation from Coach Fletcher Arritt to be a part of the post-graduate basketball team at Fork Union for the 2002-2003 year. Phil was a very skilled point guard on a very good high school team at Roanoke Catholic, where Dick was his coach. As Phil was nearing the end of his senior season, Phil’s recruiting was not going to plan, and one of the college coaches who had seen him play suggested that he try out for Coach Arritt’s team. Phil had his sights set on academic institutions in the Northeast. He had been scouted by Ivy League schools and knew that he wanted to use basketball to help him receive this type of educational experience. After Phil and Dick visited Fork Union, Phil knew this was the place for him. He accepted the invitation, and was prepared to start his Fork Union experience in late August. While Mom had not seen the place, she trusted her son and husband, and went along with Phil’s decision. So when Dick and Carol drove through the front gate and drove around the circle on the then-empty campus at 5 pm on a Saturday afternoon, Dick was not quite sure what his wife’s reaction would be. After all, although she loved basketball, she was an English teacher and a writer, and there were other things on her mind. Dick parked the car just past Hatcher Hall, and they walked down the hill to Thomas Gym. The door was open. The late-

afternoon sunlight filtered through the windows and cast the only light in the darkened gym. Carol walked onto the gym floor alone and looked around her. She saw the board with the names of the incoming team—Phil’s name was there. She looked at the jerseys adorning the walls, each representing a unique story of a Fork Union player who had exchanged his Fork Union jersey for a jersey representing his college— Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Kentucky and many others. She turned to her husband and said, “This is it. This feels right.” In the year that followed, Carol’s initial feelings were confirmed. She watched her son excel on the court. She saw him mature and grow, and she appreciated the deep respect and love he shared with his teammates; but she also noticed something else. Phil, who was already an excellent student, was becoming a better writer, and better critical thinker. His SAT scores, which were over 1200 when he arrived at Fork Union, increased by over 100 points. As the year drew to an end, Phil accepted a spot in the freshman class and on the basketball team at Williams College in Massachusetts, one of the most outstanding liberal arts colleges in the United States. It was a perfect place for Phil, and Carol and Dick knew that Fork Union had made this possible. During Phil’s years at Williams, Carol and Dick continued to develop their affection for Fork Union. Dick, a business and estate planning attorney in Roanoke, persuaded the trustees of a trust he represented to donate money for post-graduate athletic scholarships at Fork Union. Carol and Dick continued

to attend Fork Union events. In 2008, Dick accepted an invitation to join the Board of Trustees. Carol’s writing career got a tremendous boost in 2001, when she signed a publishing contract with Penguin for Mister Owita’s Guide to Gardening, the deeply affecting memoir of her friendship with a gardener from Kenya. Her book was published in March 2014 and featured in USA Today, Good Housekeeping, People, and The New York Times Book Review. With great reviews, she had ascended to heights that few writers attain.

Lifetime Financial Group

In May 2012, Carol’s breast cancer returned for a third time, although she was able to finish her book, hospitalization prevented her from making any promotional appearances. Carol remained home until her death on December 14, 2014, the following week her revered narrative was named one of the top ten books of 2014 by USA Today, AARP followed suit listing her book in the top 12. Since her death, Dick has promoted her book in 18 states with over 100 appearances at church groups, civic clubs, cancer support groups, hospice groups, book stores, book festivals, and garden clubs. Dick has continued his law practice and his work with Fork Union, but promoting Carol’s book has become a special mission in his life. Carol and Dick had three children, and all of them are involved in promoting their mother’s legacy-advocating for the beloved memoir she left behind for all of them.

Planned Gifts can be complicated. There are a lot of factors to consider, and making plans for the future can be difficult. The Academy has partnered with Lifetime Financial Group to help you create a plan that will serve you and help you leave a legacy at Fork Union Military Academy.

Dick knew that Carol would want to do something to support Fork Union, and he asked the Board of Trustees to establish the Carol Wall Scholarship. The bulk of the funding for the scholarship will come from a life insurance policy, on Dick’s life, which has been donated to Fork Union. Dick commented on the choice of using an insurance policy for the gift. “Carol and I both have deep affection for Fork Union, of course. However, at my place in life right now, being a busy lawyer and involved in the marketing of her book, it is not exactly the right time to try to make a significant gift. Because of my involvement with the Board’s fund-raising initiatives and The Called to Lead Campaign, I know that it is important to give what you can give now. I also know that, in certain cases, life insurance allows you to leverage your gift. The premium dollars you pay are a nice donation, but the death benefit to be paid in the future can create a significant gift. I am very pleased that we were able to establish the Carol Wall Scholarship through the use of this vehicle. One of the central lessons of Carol’s book is ‘what you do when the script you have written for your life does not work out— how we graciously slip into Plan B.’ Structuring the gift in this way has allowed me to use the resources available to me now, to make a gift that will create a lasting memorial to Carol’s life and her work.”

For Mr. Wall, life insurance was a compelling option for a number of reasons: 1. He is able to make a substantial gift over time rather than all at once. 2. He will be recognized now for his gift. 3. The cash value is available to Fork Union at any time, if needed. 4. Will allow him to make a significant gift without burdening himself or family.

If you have a question about planned giving, please contact: Mr. Tim Redden Vice President for Development (434) 842-4374 reddent@fuma.org or Lifetime Financial Group (844) 386-2443 gifts@fuma.org

Cadets from the Class of 2016 Were Accepted to the Following Colleges and Universities

A FEW

good MEN

ach year the senior class at Fork Union Military Academy achieves 100% college acceptance, and the diversity of the Corps is often reflected in these acceptances. Beginning with the Class of 2008, select members of each graduating class have been included on a poster called “A Few Good Men,” which highlights the diversity of acceptances our seniors receive. Nine editions of the Few Good Men poster now adorn the main lobby of Hatcher Hall, including the most recent one from the Class of 2016. These posters tell the success stories for each of the smiling boys selected for inclusion, and provide visitors with a glimpse of the array of admittances our seniors achieve each year. The most recent iteration includes cadets who were admitted to colleges from Florida to Washington, state schools and private colleges, service academies to technical schools. Behind each smiling face in the picture is a success story that we are always glad to tell.

Life

Beyond Fork Union WEST POINT

It is almost unheard of to have three students from one school earn appointments to any service academy in one year. However, in 2015, seniors Seth Jackson and Mark Cavazos, and postgraduate Nick Schrage graduated from Fork Union Military Academy with appointments to attend West Point Military Academy. Upon arriving at West Point, they would learn that they were not the only FUMA graduates on campus. Col. Robert Dickerson, current Deputy Military Athletics Director at West Point, is a 1983 postgraduate. While many other FUMA graduates have earned appointments to West Point between 1983 and 2015, it is special to have these four exceptional men representing Fork Union at one of the most prestigious service academies. We’ve asked them to share with us their stories, and hope you enjoy reading about these special Fork Union graduates and their Fork Union experiences.

Q: What is your favorite memory from Fork Union? SJ: Graduating - I felt like it was a great accomplishment. It felt great knowing that I had made it through with my friends and was ready to go on to college. It was the capstone of my time there, and it meant that I had finished what I started when I first arrived. MC: My senior year I had become the first state champion in wrestling from FUMA in many years. The event itself was a good memory, but when it happened, I just saw the culmination of people who mentored me and coached me to get there. I definitely did not do it on my own. It came from the coaches staying after practice to continue helping me; from staff and faculty who were there for me when I asked questions so I could make it to practice, and who always encouraged me to work hard for what I wanted.

NS: I wouldn’t say there is just one to be completely honest. I have a lot of recollection from the better months, from August to December, with the whole team. However, if I had to pick one, it’d have to be the day before and the day of the Bowl Game. Those two days were our last moments together, and I’ll miss those guys every day. RD: The post-graduate cadets. What a great bunch of guys and friends, who I still stay in contact with today! I also have many fond memories of Coach Pulliam and Coach Shuman!

Q: Do you think Fork Union helped prepare your for college? How? SJ: Yes. It taught me how to work hard and pursue excellence. You really get out what you put in. You can’t expect school to do everything for you. If you put in the hard work and dedication, things will fall into place.

MC: West Point is difficult, and I think certain aspects of FUMA prepared me. Academically, West Point was a shock to me, but that is more due to the higher level of work you do in college compared to high school. Physically, I played three sports year round at FUMA, so when I came here I would say I was above average. Militarily, I have had no problem, because FUMA already introduced me to a similar environment.

why I chose West Point and not Miami. Take a second and look around - realize that this doesn’t last forever. Your time there will end. There will be a last reverie, but don’t forget about the people at FUMA who helped you, because they certainly won’t forget you. RD: Quite simply, if you live by FUMA’s core values, you will undoubtedly be very successful!

NS: I think that my case is unique, because as a post grad, I already had the sense of what to expect from college. FUMA just put into perspective what mattered and what didn’t. If it wasn’t for FUMA, I wouldn’t have seen the opportunity that was West Point. FUMA helped me grow up. RD: Absolutely FUMA helped me prepare for college, especially since I attended West Point afterward. The military aspect of FUMA obviously helped me with putting on a uniform, keeping my room clean, being disciplined, on time, and organized, which are all traits you need to be successful at West Point. It also taught me the importance of being a moral and ethical person. From an athletic perspective, the post graduate football team is probably without question the main reason I ended up at West Point. Because of the success of the team, I was recruited by West Point and ended up going there.

Q: What advice can you offer to current cadets to help them understand the importance of a good education, as well as how Fork Union can benefit their future success? SJ: High School is about building foundations - it’s much easier to build a house with a good foundation than to repair the foundation after you’ve built the house. If you start strong when you are young - working hard, doing the right thing, and pursuing excellence - it’s easier to do well and be successful than to start weak, and have to play catchup. MC: Never live your life wanting to be like other people. Your average person is not cool and not memorable. The ones that are remembered are those that work for what they want. Education gives you a power like no other in this world. Information is everywhere now, so go find it and learn as much as you can, because there is no such thing as knowing too much. NS: Do not quit. In the grand scheme, you are going to look back on it and it’s going to be arguably one of the best times of your life. I can tell you that because I went looking for something that replicated FUMA, which is

Testimonials I came to Fork Union not really knowing what to expect, but I told myself no matter what I’d try my best, at least for the sake of my parents who were sending me. I started playing football and it was great. The guys on the team were like a family and we stuck it out no matter what, and I have a lot of great memories from that. As time went on, I just tried to work hard in everything I did. Whether in the classroom or on the field, I felt like my performance mattered, and therefore I was obligated to do my best. In the end it worked out. I was appointed to West Point with a few other classmates, and to this day I still use some of the things that Fork Union taught me: hard work, discipline, and integrity. I can definitely say Fork Union helped me and developed me into who I am today. Cadet CPL Seth Jackson From: Dillwyn, Virginia Major: Mechanical Engineering Activities: Boxing Team

Science Lab Renovations I went through many ups and downs while I was at Fork Union. However, I wouldn’t change things. In the end, I knew it was the right place for me to be at the time. If I had gone to another high school, I could have been involved in many bad things and continued to be a bad student. The teachers wanted me to get good grades and my coaches pushed me to be better, so I did. You have nothing else to do other than school and athletics, so work at those two things. I drowned myself in school and sports so that I would spend less time in the barracks in order to stay out of trouble. Also, the successes I had at FUMA made me feel good about myself and gave me selfconfidence in everything I did. To those who are struggling and having a hard time at FUMA, change yourself for the better. There is no reason why you cannot be successful. Give FUMA the chance to help you with your goals. Find a mentor and start working towards what you want. I know you might want to leave, but man up and take advantage of the opportunity that has been given to you. This is your chance, and you would be a fool to squander it. This world needs leaders and men with good work ethic, so rise up to the challenge and prove to the world your worth. Cadet CPL Mark Cavazos From: Williamsburg, Virginia Major: Environmental Engineering I came to FUMA believing I was owed something. That Coach Shuman should be honored to have me on this team. I had a one track mind, and that was to play at the division one level and live a blue mountain state-esk life style. I quickly figured out that’s not how things were. Like all things, it’s a process. I’d love to sit here and tell you it’s a three step fix, but I wouldn’t be telling you the truth. It wasn’t all good times, but I think the hardships made everything much better in the end. I was the most recruited athlete that year at Fork Union, which is a testament to my hard work, but also to the hard work of the coaching staff and my teammates.

Needless to say I continue to emulate this process at West Point, which is also an arduous experience. I still get asked to this day why I didn’t go to the U. I can tell you that I walked into Coach Shuman’s office and I told myself wherever he tells me to go, between West Point and Miami, I would go. I had that much faith in the man, and I still do. He set me on my way to West Point, but I’m not going to tell you I rode off into the sunset and it’s been easy since then. This experience at West Point has been a battle. But that’s what FUMA post grads do. We are conditioned to battle. Thank you Fork Union, for all you have done and will continue to do for me. Cadet CPL Nick Schrage From: Miami, Florida & Bristow, Virginia Major: Law and Legal Studies Hopes to get his JD/MBA from Harvard after graduation Activities: Football I learned more during my one post-graduate year at FUMA than I ever did during a one year period, except for maybe being deployed for a year with my battalion in Afghanistan. FUMA taught me that in order to be successful you have to work at it. Nothing is given to you unless you give something in return!

This summer Fork Union Military Academy started a long awaited project to renovate two of the five Wicker Science Labs, and create a new flex space. The renovations were made possible by donations from the W.C. English Foundation, Mary Morton Parsons Foundation, Titmus Foundation, alumnus Mr. William Martin ’67, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Dalton, and several others. In 1992, the addition of the Moretz Learning Center added much needed classroom space to the Wicker Science building, but the science labs themselves have remained the same for nearly 40 years. As interest in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) grows, Fork Union is making it a priority to provide cadets with the best teachers, classes, and space to learn these dynamic subjects. The renovation of these labs marks another step towards advancing and increasing our STEM offerings. Over the last couple of years the Academy has introduced an advanced STEM concentration degree for cadets to focus on applied skills such as programing, networking, web design, and data management. The Robotics team has introduced cadets to critical thinking and problem solving skills, while also allowing them to experiment and have fun. As well, the partnership with Richard Bland College has enriched our STEM offerings, and provided more advanced science classes. To help foster these advancements in the curriculum, further renovations of Wicker Science Labs are critical, though the Academy is excited by the first steps.

The renovated labs offer new space for advanced discovery and innovation. One of the classrooms will be the first at Fork Union to utilize a Newline TruTouch interactive display. This stateof-the-art technology will help facilitate learning in an interactive, innovative and fun way for cadets. “Any renovation of an educational space is a welcome improvement. With the cultural emphasis on technology, making our science labs more technologically adaptable, including the new interactive displays, will help our students as they leave FUMA and move on to an academic and work world that places a high premium on technological proficiency,” stated CPT Jason Biette, a member of the Upper School Science faculty. This addition was made possible by the Parents Association, which has always been supportive of introducing new features and technologies into Fork Union classrooms. The new spaces offer a safer environment for experimental learning, with updated safety equipment, gas lines, and electrical systems. The renovations of these rooms are the first of many, as we remain competitive in a growing educational market while providing unique and rewarding educational opportunities for our cadets. The Academy is grateful to all those who supported this project, and we are excited to continue work on Wicker Science Hall and the renovation of the remaining three labs soon.

I tried getting Dalton a Big Brother, which ended up largely another ‘epic fail.’ He was wait-listed for a long time, which built anticipation to a fevered level. When finally matched with a ‘Big,’ as they are called, the relationship became larger than life to my son. Finally – someone his very own to look up to and emulate, to learn from and ‘have his back’ the way a dad or real sibling would. Unfortunately, after finishing his one-year commitment, the young man resigned from BB/BS, citing overcommitment to other obligations and graduate studies. Dalton tried stoically to accept his decision, but it hurt him deeply and left another void in his life. Fast forward to summer 2012… Dalton continued to do well in school academically, but was struggling both emotionally and socially. He seemed to lack a meaningful identity, had largely given up cultivating friendships outside of his Xbox ‘friends.’ He was acting out at home, and most often his emotions manifested in anger, directed at me of course. Our relationship deteriorated rapidly. I prayed and prayed for God to show me how to help my son.

Choosing Fork Union How we decided, and the impact it has had on our family By Katie Smith & Dalton Fowler As I pulled away from the FUMA Middle School that warm August day, I was smiling and animatedly waving goodbye to my 12-year-old son, who at that moment had never looked more vulnerable to me. It only took a few yards before the car was out of his view; the tears began to flow and voices of self-doubt filled my mind: “What had I just done? How can I board the plane alone back to Dallas, Texas – a thousand miles away? How could this possibly be God’s will for our lives?” Rewind to 2001… I guess you could say our FUMA story began when Dalton was only two years old, and his father lost his battle with cancer. As a single mom, I tried valiantly to be both mom and dad to my only child, to fill the void in his life as best I could, and to make us a ‘normal’ family. Refusing to put him in day care or long after-school programs, I grew my consulting business that allowed me to work from home and pick him up from school every day. But I worked long hours and he usually did his homework alone, and then watched TV or played video games, waiting for me to have time to spend with him. He had little to no interaction with male role models – his teachers were all female, and no brothers or even any cousins, uncles, or grandfathers lived in town.

Being a bright kid naturally drawn to academics, Dalton got great grades and behaved at school. However, as the middle school years crept upon him, his circle of friends narrowed as kids tended to branch off into ‘closed groups.’ As both an introvert and a year late in his attempt to break into the football circle (where he was unilaterally rejected), Dalton found himself continually isolated over time. The same kids that did not want him on their football team, nor at their lunch table, accepted him in only one arena – the world of video games. After school, alone in his room, he became that ‘online gamer kid’, often invited to join the teams his schoolmates were on, because they knew he could help them win. Yet his ‘inclusion’ ended the minute the Xbox was powered off.

Wanting to help, friends and family of course piled on suggestions, one of which was the idea of a military boarding school. Being a researcher by trade, I dove into a painstaking, scrupulous examination of this radical idea. I interviewed numerous men who either attended such schools themselves, or had sons who attended. The feedback I received was unanimously positive. Several mentioned a common theme – the only regret they had about sending their sons was that they had not sent them sooner. Convinced I should pursue this idea, I began the next phase of research: finding a school which met my criteria. No boot camps for troubled teens, no schools that were not academically on par. Plus I would only consider a place that could demonstrate a time-tested approach and a proven track record of success. The field was further narrowed to schools that were faith-based, and that offered middle school. One school stood out alone, far above the crowd, upon finishing my research: Fork Union Military Academy. We toured the school with COL Steve Macek, who was trying his best to engage Dalton in conversation as he showed him around. I think COL Macek had about given up, when we walked by a display cabinet full of medals and cords, which he briefly acknowledged, and started to continue walking by. I’ll never forget that moment; Dalton stopped in his tracks and opened his mouth for the first time. “What do you have to do to get that one? How about that one? How do you earn this?” It was that ‘ah ha’ moment I had been waiting for. I could hear the wheels in his brain turning, wondering if this might be a way to ‘reinvent himself’ and achieve recognition and respect among peers, that did not require popularity or necessitate athletic prowess.

A short month later his bags were packed and my 12-year-old son began 7th grade as a FUMA cadet. It seemed surreal at the time, but today in hindsight, it is easy to see it was most certainly his destiny – and God’s will – and has been worth every sacrifice it took to get, and keep, him there. He never asked to come back and go to school in Texas, and is now finishing up his senior year as a proud and confident young man embarking on the next chapter of life. Of course, I miss my son tremendously during the school year, but our relationship is the best it has ever been. FUMA is the ‘village’ alongside me raising my child – the administrative staff, the teachers, the amazing nurses at the Infirmary – I know he is cared for as a parent would care for one of their own. I cannot take the space needed to write about the hundreds of ways that FUMA excels in meeting and exceeding the needs of the young men who attend. There are many schools with caring teachers, but the men and women at FUMA are true mentors. They are invested in these boys’ lives, and go above and beyond helping them make good grades; they help them become good people. Young men of integrity and character, who understand that good things in life do not come without sacrifice and selfdiscipline. Young men undistracted by electronics and social networking, who learn to communicate effectively face-to-face with a wonderfully diverse student population that expands their cultural knowledge as well. COL Macek is involved in Dalton’s life still today, and I smile every time I think back to how their ‘friendship’ began in front of that cabinet of medals. Today, Dalton’s uniform is resplendent with many of those medals he coveted six years ago, but nothing means more to him than the relationships with men (and women) of such caliber. I must share one small example of the matchless level of attention afforded my son at FUMA. Even though COL Macek currently has no administrative duties that require him to advise my son, teach my son, or even interact with my son, he stays in close contact, most recently offering to have his daughter (a freshman at Princeton with precious little time on her hands) review one of Dalton’s college essays he was drafting. Honestly, I feel that although Dalton lost his father at a tragically young age, he has gained a dozen father figures at FUMA who he will remain close to for life, who step up daily to fill that void in immeasurable ways. The impact that FUMA has had on our lives is very hard to quantify or describe adequately. In fact, I can hardly remember what our life looked like before FUMA. And this is a good thing. A very good thing.

Dalton’s Story I was twelve years old when I donned my first Battle Dress Uniform. Anxious and homesick, I wondered if this was just a crazy dream, or if my mother had actually made the egregious decision to drop me off at a military boarding school a thousand miles from home. Despite the pressure of entering a whole new environment, I focused on adapting quickly – I was told that the alternative was to ‘crash and burn.’ Suppressing my trepidation, I began telling everyone that this school was where I wanted to be. Before long, to the surprise of many, including myself, it became true. The first few weeks were not easy, make no mistake. Gone were the days of hanging out with friends, home-cooked meals, sleeping in on Saturdays and so many other things I took for granted. Many of those early days I declined the opportunity for recreation during free periods, instead sitting alone on a bench in the middle of Fraley Circle, waving at the distant webcam in case at that moment my mom might possibly be watching. In retrospect, I realize attending Fork Union Military Academy (FUMA) was my destiny. The men in leadership at FUMA are father figures who stepped up to fill a void in my life that I didn’t even know was there. I never knew my father, who died of cancer when I was only two years old. I had no one to teach me how to throw a football or roughhouse, no one to ‘teach me how to be a man.’ By the time I reached middle school, my sense of purpose and identity were far from adequately formed. Like many bright, introverted young men lacking an athletic skill set, I had gravitated to the world of electronic interaction where my skills were admired, but my real self hardly known. At FUMA, there are no cell phones or video games allowed. If I wanted to connect with my peers, I had to discover the mysteries of eye-to-eye contact and authentic verbal communication. The ‘even playing field’ inherent in the military environment allowed me to re-create myself, and I liked the man I began to see in the mirror. I started conversations,

smiled when greeted, asked people how their day was going, told jokes, and formed stronger bonds. As a member of the FUMA Corps of Cadets, I strove to do my best – whether that was marching before dawn, practicing formations on the field, or spit-shining my shoes. Rather than being known for my prowess playing Call of Duty, I learned the value of actual duty, self-discipline and honor. In addition to the camaraderie among fellow cadets, the instructors make the daily grind much more than ‘bearable.’ I not only receive the benefit of their instruction in the classroom, but often have the chance to interact with them and their families on a personal basis. Through my many mentors at FUMA, I no longer wonder what it truly means to be a good father, a good leader, and a good man. I know what it looks like, and I know who I want to become. Today, five years later, my uniform looks much the same, though many sizes bigger and somewhat cumbersome, with twenty-plus hard-earned medals and cords fighting for attention. Instead of feeling anxious or homesick, I admit to being almost eager to return to campus for my senior year. My band of brothers awaits me there – young men with whom I have created meaningful and lasting bonds. All eyes are on me, expecting me to graduate Valedictorian, and I do not plan to disappoint. It will be a good year. As I traverse to this next stage of life, I am proud to have gained a unique perspective and understanding that the best things in life are fought for and earned. Sure, I want a great job, a beautiful family and the material rewards everyone hopes for. I want my accomplishments to shine, and for life to be easy, but I know that’s not how life works. I’ve learned that a boy does what he wants, and a man does what he needs to do, and I want to be the best man I can be.

“If our cadets are to be what they might, if our country is to be what it can, then eliciting the very best from our cadets must be our first duty as educators. And we must be very clear about one thing; if we don’t do it, no one else will.”

Dr. Hatcher’s vision for Fork Union Military Academy was one where young men are nurtured and developed in mind, body, and spirit. Over the years, this continued vision has shaped Fork Union into a place widely recognized for its unique ability in developing and inspiring young men. Each day alumni, past and present parents, and friends who support Fork Union change the lives of young men and help develop a new generation of leaders who are strong, confident, and disciplined. Together, we thank you for joining us in realizing Dr. Hatcher’s vision and by providing a place that “elicits the very best” in every young man.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts are one of the most meaningful and honorable ways to contribute to Fork Union Military Academy. More than just a donation, they create a legacy impacting generations of cadets to come. The individuals listed below have committed to contributing to the Academy’s future through planned giving. Among them is Dick Wall, the creator of the Carol Wall Scholarship featured on page 8 is an exceptional example of this type of support. Dick, being a Board of Trustees member, knew utilizing the higher yield of his life insurance policy’s death benefits was the best way to create a significant gift in honor of his beloved Wife. His gift, as well as, those contributed by the donors below are vital to Fork Union’s continued success. While a planned gift may seem small, they are in fact all large gifts that can have a big impact. The Academy is grateful to all those who have supported the Academy through planned gifts. If you are interested in making a planned gift, please contact Tim Redden at (434) 842-4374 or reddent@fuma.org.

Looking Back...

ALUMNI 2016 WEEKEND Alumni Weekend 2016 brought back over 300 alumni and friends to revisit, reflect, and reconnect. The Class of 1966 celebrated their 50th reunion, with over 30 classmates returning to campus. On Friday, the Academy hosted a BBQ on campus where alumni enjoyed good food and company. During the BBQ, the Academy recognized those staff members who would retire at the end of the 2016 school year: Ed Moore, long time Foreign Language teacher; Cindi McIlnay, Director of International Enrollment; Henri Cobb, longtime Assistant to the Athletics Department; and Micky Sullivan, Athletics Director and 1966 graduate of the Academy. On Saturday, the Academy hosted its annual Golf Tournament, which was fun for all who attended. Later that evening, the Alumni Dinner was hosted at the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville. During the dinner, the Academy honored the class of 1966 with 50th Anniversary Medals to celebrate their reunion. LTC Tom Williams â&#x20AC;&#x2122;42, and Mr. George Loukas â&#x20AC;&#x2122;68 were recognized as Distinguished Alumni. On Sunday morning, the Veterans Ceremony was moved inside as it poured rain outside. While the parade was unfortunately canceled due to the threat of heavy rains, Alumni spent the day wandering campus reflecting and remembering. The weekend ended as the Class of 1966 marched around the circle to commemorate their 50th anniversary and to prove they still could.
