2003 AFA - Army '03 Football Game
Go Air Force
We had another record attendance at the AFA-Army Football Game Weekend November 7-9, 2003. The weekend started with a magnificent party at Bruce and Caryl Mosier's home in Monument at noon on Friday, then to the Radisson for a Pep Rally headlined by some razzmatazz with a rousing speech from Coach Fisher DeBerry (delivered "for our ears only"), who knows how to spin a yarn, perhaps several. (Some then repaired to the Golden Bee at the Broadmoor for late night songs and revelry).
Saturday's GlazaGate started at 9AM with Bloody Marys and the best food anywhere near Falcon Stadium, then it was the Falcons beating the very Black Knights 31-3. Saturday night's dinner was emceed by Andi Biancur with invocation by Gary Sheets and closed with Dave Sweigart leading the group in "God Bless America."
Sunday's brunch was the "get away event."
