 Time to get together! So many changes, but one constant: we are very fortunate to have

attended USAFA. Especially when you think about WHEN we attended. Great memories and

wonderful friendships formed. You should be receiving this around Labor Day. For a few of us

that means Parent’s Weekend. Kathy (Gotch) Staiger marched back from Jack’s Valley.



Here is Kathy with her son, Aaron, after marching back

Jeff Lofgren checked in.  Since retiring, he has been acting as a Senior Mentor for the AF

(Temporary AF Civilian) at exercises around the world and education events focused on

operational level command and control.  It allows him to stay connected with our AF. 


Nick Matchefts is a hospice chaplain. He works for a small hospice agency that serves people in

long term care settings. Having a vast career, he was an engineer in the AF for seven years

(1984-1991), a small church pastor for ten years (1995-2005), a seminary registrar for ten years

(2005-2015), a seminary field education director for about 5 years (2015-2019), and has been a

hospice chaplain since 2019. He brings together all those vocational threads in a meaningful and

important way.His daughter is in college now, finishing her first year. He and Lori live in the

Twin Cities.


Nick stays in touch with a few classmates: John Kenney, Stephen Hoogasian, and Doug Fogle


Joe Wiley has been working for the Air Force Special Operations Command as a civilian for

almost 4 years.  He works out of an office in Crystal City, VA.  He was down in Sarasota in

March, with his wife, Susan, had dinner with fellow Cobra 14 member Mike Brennan and his

wife Petey.  Mike And Petey live in Tampa, and Mike is working as an analyst for a firm

providing services to USSOCOM.

Joe was at Hurlburt Field for a TDY and had the honor to attend a pre-retirement send-off for

one of our longest serving classmates, Lt. Gen Brad Webb.  Brad had his fini-flight and then a

casual gathering at Hurlburt Field’s Tiki Bar.  Brad officially retired at the end of July.  Brad

retired as the commander of Air Education and Training Command (AETC) after previously

having served as the commander of the Air Force Special Operations Command.


John Weigand left Colorado after 24 years - moved to NJ (yes NJ) in a new role with United. He

is running Operations at EWR airport. A huge job change....but one he says is very interesting.

There was a method to the change, with son, Jack, senior at West Point, daughter, Sidney, a

junior at West Point, he gets to watch them both play lacrosse. Jack enjoyed a great senior season

as the captain of Army men's team, finishing 12-4, unfortunately losing in the Patriot League

Championship which kept them out of NCAA's. Sidney, also the captain of the women's Army

lax team, finished 12-6 and upset Navy for the first time in program history. He and Kathy also

get to South Bend to watch kid #3, Gracie, play lax for Notre Dame. She had a great year and

ND made it to the NCAAs.

Bill "Bruno" Millonig and his wife Susan celebrated their 38th Anniversary on June 1, and

exactly 1 month later celebrated their Granddaughter Ava's 1st birthday!  Ava is the daughter of

Andrea, who married Brian Pitchford just over 4 years ago on the Chesapeake.  Bruno & Susan

have been settled in Arlington, VA now for 15 years, and are fortunate not only to live near the

growing Pitchford family, but their son Matt as well.  Bruno has retired twice, most recently

from the intelligence community, and currently works at the National Academy of Sciences in

Washington, DC.



Here is Ava celebrating her first birthday and getting the motion down for the upcoming season
