In Memoriam Artillery School For a time during the Civil War, Fort Richardson served as an “Artillery School”, teaching gunners to use triangulation to sight the range of their artillery. For much of the war Fort Richardson was staffed by the 1st Connecticut Artillery, whose Company G, recruited from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, included many who possessed a knowledge of mathematics. Their skills were used not only to sight the ranges for potential targets but also to instruct others in triangulation. For more on the “Artillery School,” click here.

The Career Women’s Golf Organization’s season is winding up, with weekday and weekend play ending at the end of October. We are happy to report that we have some winter/off-season events planned and will be reaching out to our members for further information. Importantly, the CWGO held its Working Women’s Offsite – Fall Outing (the “WWOFO”) at the beginning of October in beautiful Queenstown Harbor, Maryland. After two days of fun group and individual play, the new WWOFO “Queen”, Tina Gwilliam, was pronounced, taking over the reins from Kathleen Love. Our new Queen is responsible for organizing WWOFO 2024 and for encouraging general merriment amongst our ranks for the next year. Long live the Queen! We are also so pleased to report that our CWGO In- terclub team won its division and is scheduled to play for the Interclub championship against other division winners. Please stay turned for results. We thank our CWGO Interclub co-captains, Gwen House and Amy DeWitt for their leadership, and congratulate all of the CWGO Interclub members on their victory!
WGO-18: Women’s 18 Hole Golf Organization
We’re wishing everyone a happy fall! As our season wraps to a close, members enjoyed a fun Halloween tournament scramble followed by the President’s Plate Tournament where President Cindy Loughran thanked all the volunteers who helped make this year fabulous. The WGO-18 had a wonderful season offering a mixture of fun days and serious days with 13 official tournaments (some of them multi-day, themed tournaments), clinics, and weekly play days at both Arlington and Fairfax. Informal play will continue throughout the winter, with the season commencing again next March/April. If you’re interested in meeting an enjoyable and diverse group of golfers and keeping your golf going throughout the winter or getting ready for next spring, please contact Membership Chair Ruth Daly at ruthadaly@verizon.net.

On the other hand, our peels, focus on exfoliating the out layers of the skin, creating new skin growth that is smoother, firmer and brighter, with little to no downtown.

Children wishing to participate will be asked to submit a short video clip of themselves singing so that camp leaders can choose repertoire that will highlight their strengths.
