VOL. 47 NO.19 MAY 11, 2007 Cemetery facilities dedicated today

By Academy Spirit staff

Two new additions to the Academy cemetery will properly honor deceased graduates and their loved ones and shelter mourners from bad or unpredictable weather. The Academy and the Association of Graduates will dedicate a memo- rial pavilion and directory building today at 2 p.m. at the cemetery. Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. John Regni will lead the dedication. The directory building houses a computer kiosk with photos and obit- uaries of deceased graduates, Academy information and videos and a grave locator. The project began in May 2006. Its $4.6 million cost was covered by private donations raised by the Association of Graduates. Construction and design contracts were awarded to Gerald H.

The Academy’s newest cadet loves to skateboard with his pals, but he stowed his board and hung out with cadets for a while this week. Julian “Spooner” Willis, 10, reigned as “Cadet for a Day” through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, May 3 through Saturday. “It was pretty cool,” he said of the experience. Cadet Squadron 39, the “Jedi Knights,” treated him to tours of the airfield, Sijan Hall, the astro lab, fire station and a Cessna flight. Julian also presided over the noon meal in Mitchell Hall. Cadet 1st Class Lon Schmitt said the squadron has been involved with Make-A-Wish visits for three years. “It’s an awesome way to make someone’s life better,” he said. Cadet 3rd Class Trent Palmer said Julian’s enthu- siasm for cadet life was contagious for the 39 Squad. “This puts everything in perspective,” he said.

Doctors diagnosed Julian with primary pulmonary hypertension two years ago. He wears a backpack containing oxygen and medication which is delivered to his lungs 24 hours a day. He is awaiting a two-lung transplant and, possibly, a heart transplant, which could come in one day or two years, his mother Joanne Willis said. Pilot Sal Ivison from the aero club gave Julian a cruise around the Pikes Peak region in one of the club’s single-engine, four-seat T-41 Cessnas. “It was pretty cool,” Julian said of his flight. Julian and his mom JoAnne “The best part was taking the controls.” sit in an Academy glider He insisted on flying by himself and left his with his name painted on its parents cooling their heels on the airfield. side. “He likes to do things by himself,” Mrs. Willis said. “He’s a very special kid. He has something in his personality that brings joy to everyone he meets.” The young cadet’s diagnosis came as a shock at first to the family in which he is an only child. “Now, it’s an everyday thing,” his father, Tom Willis, said of the medical routine. “No matter what happens, you have to stand up. The small things in life, we don’t sweat.” Every year on the anniversary of Julian’s diag- nosis, the family gathers to celebrate his life. Julian has his headset on, prior to “We recognize the fact that we’re all here, and a 40-minute Cessna flight over Julian is with us,” Mrs. Willis said. “If today is his Pikes Peak and Cheyenne last day, we will have no regrets.” Mountain during his 3-day Cadet Luann Griffin, with the Make- for a Day visit to the Academy.
