Events for the weekend included a golf tournament, college athletics games, a pep rally, homecoming parade, and re-dedication for the 25^th anniversary of the helicopter monument, and the Alumni Banquet and Awards Ceremony.All three former cadets were honored at the Alumni Banquet and Awards Ceremony on Saturday night into the Groendyke Hall of Honor on the Wentworth campus in Lexington."I am so proud of BG Price, BG Evans, and BG Miller. I was here when they were cadets at the Academy, and to see them graduate and be so successful is very gratifying,” said Colonel Michael Lierman, Wentworth Superintendent. “We are very thankful to them for taking time out of their busy schedules to come back for Homecoming and to sit down and talk with the cadets. They were able to visit with old friends and coaches and remember the ole' days. They were all thankful and humbled to be inducted into the Hall of Honor. Wentworth continues to develop young men and women and provide them the beginning foundation for successful careers. I truly enjoyed seeing them again and hearing their stories.”During their visit to campus, the three Generals took time the time over the weekend to educate the 133^rd Corps of Cadets. The main topic of discussion for the Generals was leadership. They used their career experiences as a mechanism to explain good leadership and bad leadership.
