Public Affairs Presents USMA To The Media The Public Affairs Detail, under the direction of the Public Affairs Of- fice, maintained a busy schedule throughout the year. After gradu- ation of the Class of ' 82, special sto- ries were made on cadets during the summer. The year was busy with trips to New York City and Texaco International. Detail members per- formed several functions at football games, supported Sarah Purcell and her crew from Real People , pro- vided escorts and representatives for the Thayer Award and West Point Day in Albany, and escorted members of the AUSA Convention. Under the direction of QIC MAJ Plummer, the cadets provided a valuable service to West Point throughout the year by represent- ing the Corps to the media. TOP BIGHT: P. Doyle.

The West Point Sailing Team, Co- captained by Jeff Bradley and Hugo Fischer, faced such formidable op- ponents as Annapolis and the Coast Guard Academy. The Army Team often left the regattas as victors over schools where competitive sail- ing is strongly stressed, to include Kings Point. The team also scored victories over Cornell, Princeton, RPI, and others in the Vanguard 420 class. The success was the culmina- tion of the team ' s continuous prac- tice on the Hudson in all kinds of weather. ' ' Running With The Wind ' ' 347

With Station Manager Kent (Gonzo) San- derson leading the way, it never stopped rocking. 89.3 FM was the spot on the dial for the Sosh Show and more Army sports broadcasts than any other station in the Hudson Valley. It wasn ' t all radio, either, as WKDT ' s DJs spun the tunes for hops at Ike Hall, Cullum Hall or the First Class Club, as well as at the Beat Navy hops in Philadelphia.
