Bill Petty's Video from the Reunion

If you were there, if you were not there and want to see what you missed, or if you are simply interested in seeing what happened, you might like a copy of the video that Bill Petty made.

Here is what you need to know in order to get your own copy:

At our recent 40th Reunion, Bill Petty made a Video which is now available to Classmates. If you would like a copy, you can get one by;

1. Sending an e-mail to Bill Mogan (whiskycobra1@charter.net) to put yourself on the "ship to" list. Be sure to include a "ship to address" with your e-mail order.

2. At same time mail a check for $20 payable to "62 Admin Fund" to: E G Fishburne Herbert Hall Bldg 698 West Point, NY 10996 If you would like more than one copy, send in $20 for each additional copy. Allow six (6) weeks for delivery. The cutoff date for honoring orders is October 15, 2002.

PS: The fee for this video is not tax deductible and work on this project done by Bill Petty was done for "cost" and Bill Mogan's work was done "pro bono" for our Class. Any net revenue will go to the "Class Admin Fund".

Format:

"There is an update for the Video; it is now also available in DVD format. Therefore, you will have the option of receiving it in either VCR or DVD format.

In the event that you have the same questions that I had about the DVD format, here is how Bill Petty answered them: "This is meant to cover several emails I've been copied on over the past two days. DVD vs. DVD-R is not an old format vs. new format issue. When DVD recorders came out they generally used a DVD-R disc to record. These disks are the same format as all DVDs however some older players are not able to read them, so they won't play. Generally any DVD player less than 2 years old is fine, 2 to 4 years old is iffy, over 4 years old they probably won't play. (It has to do with reflective layer color and laser frequency not data format. A standard DVD has a silver surface, a DVD-R has a kind of purplish surface.) They should play on most any computer DVD player and most TV versions. I personally have 4 stand-alone DVD players and the DVDs I make play on 3 of then. They won't play on the one that is 6 year old. It's probably best to just say something like "also available on DVD (Will play on most players. We'll exchange for tape if there is any problem)""

Bottom Line: If you are still confused, do what I do and ask any 14 year old."
