ALL UT ROTC PROGRAMS IN JEOPARDY: ROTC BUILDING TO BE TORN DOWN THIS FALL WITH NO DEFINITIVE PLANS FOR FUTURE ROTC FACILITIES RAS Hall is scheduled for demolition beginning in September of this year, only six months from now. The College of Liberal Arts will erect a new multi-story building on the RAS property to accommodate the needs of that College, excluding the NROTC and other two ROTC programs. As of this moment, there is no definitive plan for a temporary relocation on campus for the NROTC. There have been discussions, negotiations, some promises made and some, as yet, unfulfilled but no definite plans are in place at this time for the near term relocation of the NROTC. Furthermore, no definitive plans are in place for the long term relocation of the NROTC on campus. Your Board of Directors is considerably concerned about this situation and wants to do what it can to insure that the Unit is timely provided adequate facilities to carry out its mission of educating and commissioning Navy and Marine Corps officers for the defense of our country. The Board wants to do what it can to continue the traditions of excellence established over the last seventy years by our Alumni.

  • Perfect Vision for TAOM
    Vol. 10, No. 11, November 2019 Message from the President 2020: Perfect Vision for TAOM Greetings to the members, friends, and family of the Texas Association of Magicians. First of all, condolences to the Astros fans all over the state. The eyes of Texas were upon you and the hearts of Texas with you. Without question in my home, there were three fans pulling for the 'Stros, who were bummed at the outcome of game seven of this World Series. Secondly...what is UP with the cold temps this November? Technically it is still fall, but we in the DFW area just had our first taste of temperatures below 32 degrees. Ugh! Temperatures everywhere are almost ten degrees below average. Everyone be sure to keep warm as we move into the colder months. Just a reminder to book your TAOM registration at www.taom.org/2020. There you will find menu options with links to register for both the convention and the hotel at our special convention rate. We are limiting registration to 250 registrants - so you do not want to be among the ones who miss out because you did not act early enough. A number of you have asked whether we will be doing day passes as other TAOM conventions have done in the past. My answer is that although we may have a limited amount of public tickets for the evening shows, it is not likely that we will be selling day passes once the registrations are sold out, so I would not count on that. If you have seen or read this column previously, you are well aware that we in Fort Worth are claiming to have perfect 2020 vision into next year's TAOM convention.

  • With Walter Zaney Blaney
    Anthony Darkstone Brook In Conversation With Walter Blaney The following article was written way back in 2002 and as the saying goes, it has, “withstood the test of time” . Since then, Rory Johnson, who wrote an article on Walter for MAGIC magazine used this article as a basis for his feature. In 2008, I was greatly honored when at the Texas Association of Magicians Convention, I was invited to Produce & Host a Live Talk Show with Walter as the main guest. Other guests on my show were Trixie Bond, Scott Wells, MarcoM, Chuck Lehr , Bruce Kalver , Frances Willard, Glen Falkenstien, Bill Palmer, Walter’s daughters Beck Blaney, Dr.Carol Blaney and Gold Medal Champion Shannon Blaney. And, last but not least, David Copperfield who was a Live phone-in guest. The photos accompanying this article depict some of those wonderful moments. Anthony Darkstone Brook In Conversation With Walter Blaney The phrase, ‘World Class Entertainer’ can only truly be applied to an elite few notable magicians. In the vanguard of that group one name resonates with singular clarity. That name is Walter Blaney. In more ways than one Walter Blaney stands tall in the world of magic. His 6ft – 6inch frame houses the presence of a formidable performer, creative genius and the inventive mind of some of magic’s greatest stage illusions. Lance Burton, David Copperfield, Paul Daniels and Sylvan are just a few of the world’s leading magicians that have used Walter’s magical creations in their shows. David Copperfield is quoted as saying that one of his favorite illusions is none other than Walter Blaney’s – Ladder Levitation.

This cost includes hanging the fiber, pole make-ready costs, burying 2.2 miles of fiber and connecting into each of the buildings (ie. EMS, Justice Center, Courthouse, Juvenile Center, and URS).

Liability & Incorporation Procedures for TAOM Member Clubs VI. TAOM Presidents VII. Excerpts from TAOM History: 50 Years and Counting! CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION TO THIS GUIDE The TAOM organization has a history of hosting some of the finest magic conventions in the world. Its yearly Labor Day weekend conclave is one of the best gatherings in magic. All who have ever had anything to do with planning a TAOM convention should be proud of these facts. Of course some conventions have been more successful than others. Factors all the way from convention location, planning, leadership, and even the status of magic in general have influenced convention success. No matter how one evaluates each convention however, there is no doubt that the TAOM conventions are modern extravaganzas of top-notch evening shows, contests, lectures, and special magic events. THE IDEA FOR THIS GUIDE In the beginning TAOM conventions cost little or nothing to host. They were simply gatherings of magicians who came together for fellowship and fun.
