Steak Night at the Officers’ Club occurs the every Thursday of every month.<br />
This event has been ongoing for quite some time and draws a nice crowd. The<br />
night is filled with music, laughter, and quiet tables nestled together filled with<br />
people. If you were ever a meat and potatoes kind of a person, this is the night<br />
for you as there are plenty of different kinds of steaks, a loaded baked potato,<br />
unlimited salad bar, dessert items and even a glass of wine if you would like one.<br />
The tables are generally set for two or four people, but standing out in the back<br />
of the room is a large round table with a beautiful linens reserved for a group.<br />
Steak Night offers the kind of atmosphere for friends and family to get together<br />
in a wonderful location for a club to meet and enjoy dinner together. The table<br />
in the back of the room belongs to the Cigar Smokers Club. It is not an official<br />
club, but one formed out of things in common. I met this group to find out<br />
what draws them to this location. I sat down to talk to the leader of the club,<br />
a wonderful man who loves the building that we are sitting in, the comfortable<br />
atmosphere, the food and - of course - the men sitting around the table with<br />
him.<br />
The people at the table are talking and eating, sharing old war stories and<br />
relaxing while enjoying their dinner together. As the evening comes to a close,<br />
the leader of the table invites me outside to sit with them. The Officers’ Club<br />
has opened up their patio to them so that they can mingle together outside and<br />
O’Club<br />
The O’Club:<br />
A Place for Friends<br />
of course enjoy a cigar after dinner. The men explain to me that the group is<br />
neither about smoking nor about eating dinner. It is about enjoying something<br />
such as the Officers’ Club, a legacy that is slowly dying away. The clubs are going<br />
away but the camaraderie of being with individuals who you can relate to is still<br />
there. They share stories, remember the old times, talk about being injured<br />
in war, about being deployed, about funny stories and silly stories, and they all<br />
decompress together.<br />
One gentleman told me that after a very intense battle while he was deployed,<br />
his unit came together to unwind and they all smoked a cigar and even Soldiers<br />
that didn’t smoke came along just to be a part of something. There is no rank<br />
in this group. They are all Soldiers, have a story to share, and just need a place<br />
to come to feel relaxed and be able to gather together. Throughout most of<br />
the night you will often hear “remember the times” as they talk about how the<br />
military, clubs and soldiers are changing. As changes occur with the Officers’<br />
Club, the military and events, remember that we still provide a great event filled<br />
with food, familiar faces, a comfortable atmosphere, and possibly even a spot<br />
for your club to meet. The Cigar Smokers Club will continue to meet and use<br />
the facilities that <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong> has to offer, and will always come out for meat and<br />
potatoes! You can remember the times, too, by coming out for Steak Night the<br />
every Thursday night of every month.<br />
2009 Murder Mystery: “Murder on the Trail”<br />
Thirty members of the Waiting Families Support Program, an initiative of Army Community Service, spent the night of April 17 as suspects<br />
in a western “whodunit.”<br />
The families were the recipients of 30 tickets to “Murder on the Trail,” the final Murder Mystery Dinner at the <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong><br />
Officers’ Club.<br />
“We donated the tickets because we always try to help the community,” said Tabitha Bohn, the O’Club’s Business<br />
Manager.<br />
“It was a wonderful event and all the families were so appreciative of the opportunity to join in on the fun at no cost to<br />
them,” said Cher Poehlein, the Relocation Readiness Manager at ACS. “I was there, too, and it was one of the coolest<br />
things I’ve ever seen.”<br />
“The reaction from the crowd was very positive,” Bohn said. “They all enjoyed the programming, as it was the last Murder<br />
Mystery Dinner at the O’Club.”<br />
In addition to participation in events like the Murder Mystery Dinner, membership in the Waiting Families Support Program<br />
has other aspects that benefit Waiting Families, including dinner, bowling activities and more. A Waiting Family is defined as<br />
anybody who’s geographically separated from their service member for 30 days or longer due to deployment, TDY or other<br />
circumstances.<br />
<strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong> Calendar page<br />
“As long as the family is geographically separated from their Soldier, they qualify,” Poehlein said.<br />
For more information about the Waiting Families Support Program or to register as a Waiting Family, call Cher Poehlein at<br />
568-1132. The next Murder Mystery will be held at its new location, The Centennial.<br />

library<br />
Summer is almost here, and this year, in addition to our long-time<br />
summer reading program for children, the Mickelsen Community Library<br />
is proud to announce a new summer reading program for teens between<br />
the ages of 13 and 19.<br />
The theme for the teen program is “Express Yourself @ Your Library.”<br />
Everyone knows that teens love to express themselves in any number<br />
of ways; at the library they can discover just how many ways there are<br />
to express themselves. Whether it’s through reading about music, art,<br />
sports, or poetry, we can help them find out just how great freedom of<br />
expression can be. Registration for the program begins Saturday, May<br />
16. Reading will start Tuesday, June 16 and will end on Saturday, July 11.<br />
The top three winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on<br />
Saturday, July 18 at 2 p.m. To keep teens reading throughout the month,<br />
each reader will be given one point for every 50 pages read, and he or<br />
she will receive a prize for every four points. In order to get recognition<br />
for those 50 pages, however, the teens will be required to write a short,<br />
one- or two-sentence summary about what they have read. The teens<br />
with the most points at the end of the program will be the winners. We<br />
will be giving prizes to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place readers which will be<br />
a $50 gift card to Barnes & Noble for 1st place, a $35 gift card for 2nd,<br />
and a $25 gift card for 3rd place. Join us for this pilot program at your<br />
Post library and discover how much fun you can have expressing yourself<br />
@ your library.<br />
In addition to our new teen program, we will, of course, conduct<br />
our long-standing summer reading program for children between<br />
the ages of 2 and 12. Have your kids become one of the Mickelsen<br />
Community Library’s “Most Wanted” when you sign them up for our<br />
“Wanted: Readers” summer reading program. Getting caught reading<br />
will get your child’s picture up on our wall among other “Wanted”<br />
readers. Registration begins Saturday, May 16, and continues through<br />
Classes taught within the <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong> Army Volunteer Corps include:<br />
•<br />
Volunteer Management Training<br />

Saturday, July 18. Reading for the children’s program begins on Tuesday,<br />
June 2 and continues through Saturday, Aug. 1. Each child who participates<br />
will come to the library and check out the books he or she would like<br />
to read, take them home, and read them at their own pace. When the<br />
books are returned to the library, either the reader or the parent will<br />
record the titles on a reading record kept at the library. All books read<br />
must be age appropriate—in other words, 9-year-olds will not get credit<br />
for reading easy books for preschoolers. Depending on the child’s age,<br />
he or she will earn a stamp to be placed on the reading record for every<br />
two to five books that have been read. At the end of the summer we will<br />
host a huge awards ceremony and party for all participants. Each child<br />
who participates in the program will receive a goody bag of surprises and<br />

Recipe for Bubbles<br />
Just mix one part liquid dish detergent with 15 parts water - one quick way to do this is to just mix 1/4 cup<br />
detergent with 3 3/4 cups of water. Use filtered and fairly soft water if you can. Then, take a wire coat hanger,<br />
bend and twist it into a small loop or two, and you’re ready to go. Blowing bubbles works even better if you<br />
have small children who love to chase them or are just learning to blow them.<br />
Recipe for Bread Dough<br />
1 c. flour<br />
¼ c. salt<br />
6 tbsp. hot tap water<br />
Knead about 5 minutes, add food coloring as desired. Store in plastic bag and mold into ornaments.<br />
Recipe for Children’s Clay Ornaments<br />
2 c. baking soda<br />
1 1/4 c. cold water<br />
1 c. cornstarch<br />
Mix cornstarch and soda, blending well. Add cold water and mix until smooth. Boil one minute until it looks<br />
like mashed potatoes. Stir constantly. Cover with damp towel and allow to cool. Knead the dough and roll out.<br />
Use cookie cutters or mold shapes by hand. Dry until hard 1 to 2 days. Paint ornaments with Tempera or water<br />
colors. Dry and then coat with clear shellac. Press wire hanger into back before dough dries.<br />
Operation Purple® Summer Camp<br />
Freedom Camp 2009<br />
Freedom Camp is a collaborative effort designed to support<br />
children of deployed and redeployed service members and<br />
those who are preparing for deployment and is open to<br />
Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard children from<br />
any branch of Service.<br />
Teens ages 13-18 will attend Freedom Camp 2009 at<br />
Bonita Park Camp and Conference Center in Capitan, NM<br />
(just outside Ruidoso) from June 29 - July 3. Youth will be<br />
exposed to recreational, social, educational, and therapeutic<br />
activities which will help them understand and better cope<br />
with the effects of war, deployments, and reunification.<br />
Freedom Camp includes lodging, meals, activities and<br />
transportation-thanks to support from the Permian Basin<br />
Triad Foundation and <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong> in the beautiful Rocky<br />
Mountains of south-central New Mexico on 200 acres<br />
When you hear “Operation Purple Camp” you should think: Kids Serve Too!<br />
The National Military Family Association’s Operation Purple Camp is a time<br />
for having fun, making friends, and reminding military kids that they are the<br />
Nation’s youngest heroes.<br />
As an organization dedicated to serving military families, the National Military<br />
Family Association recognized the need for more resources to support<br />
military children. In 2004, the Operation Purple program was created as a<br />
way to help military children struggling with the stresses of war.<br />
These free, week-long, overnight camps are open to military children ages<br />
7-17 and will be held at Lone Tree Ranch Captain, N.M., adjacent to Lincoln<br />
National Forest. The program aims to help military kids experience carefree<br />
fun while also learning coping skills to deal with deployment-related stress<br />
and fostering relationships with other children who know what they are going<br />
through. Operation Purple camp allows kids to gain confidence by learning<br />
to be stewards of the community and of the environment.<br />
Operation Purple summer camp activities, including hiking, horseback riding,<br />
mountain biking, climbing, rappelling and mountain scooters take place in the<br />
national forest. At Lone Tree, Operation Purple campers will experience<br />
exciting activities which promote teamwork, help them overcome fears, learn<br />
coping skills, and teach resiliency. Each activity is designed to build on one<br />
another as the youth become more familiar with themselves and others,<br />
learning to trust fellow campers and the staff.<br />
camps<br />
of pine-covered woodlands. This five day, overnight camp<br />
offers high adventure activities including high ropes, paint<br />
ball, climbing wall, and a mud pit.<br />
Other activities include:<br />
• 500-foot ZIPLINE<br />
• Challenge Course<br />
• 80 climbs indoor rock wall<br />
• Indoor heated pool<br />
• Hiking through the National Forest<br />
• Campfire area<br />
• Playing games of sand volleyball!<br />
• Compete in volleyball and basketball<br />
• The 90’x60’ MUD PIT can be used for mud volleyball, tug<br />
of war, mud football and many more mud games<br />
• Archery<br />
• Paintball<br />
• 65-foot tower with outdoor rock wall and rappel<br />
tower<br />
Other activities include:<br />
• Alpine Tower (50-foot tower with 4 ropes and over 25 routes to<br />
climb)<br />
• 22 foot Rifle Range<br />
• Giant 40-foot swing (We like to call it the Screamer!)<br />
• Basketball (half court with cement floor)<br />
• Volleyball (outdoor sand court, or indoor)<br />
• Game room (pool table, ping pong table, and foosball table)<br />
• Giant outdoor chess set<br />
• Frisbee Golf<br />
• 397-foot enclosed flume waterslide!<br />
Since Operation Purple camp’s implementation, the National Military Family<br />
Association has sent more than 20,000 military kids to camp for free. In 2009,<br />
Operation Purple will host nearly 90 weeks of camp held in 62 locations in<br />
37 states and territories. Camps are free to all participants thanks to support<br />
from the Sierra Club and the Sierra Club Foundation.<br />

VEHICLES<br />
• Slow down! For each 5 mph driven over 60, it costs about 20 cents extra per<br />
gallon of gas. Some common recommendations to do so: ease up on the gas pedal<br />
and brake pedal, be sure your tires are inflated and your engine is running smoothly,<br />
don’t have your car on idle for too long, and get a fuel-efficient car.<br />
• Shop around for gas: Before you pull over and start filling up, shop around for the<br />
cheapest place to get gas. Find the cheapest gas in your area: www.gasbuddy.com.<br />
• Use cruise control: If you’re not going to be hitting any stop signs or traffic lights,<br />
set your cruise control to conserve gas.<br />
• Ride a bike, walk, carpool: Driving contributes to global warming and the<br />
depletion of our natural resources, not to mention pollution. So the less you drive,<br />
the better. Even if you only replace a few trips a week with a bike or walking or<br />
carpooling, you’re doing your part to help stop global warming and save on gas<br />
money at the same time.<br />
• Do regular scheduled maintenance on your vehicles: Do not skimp on or<br />
forget to do regular oil changes. Remember to check the air in your tires often.<br />
These small acts can significantly lengthen the life of your car, giving you years of<br />
use.<br />
• Avoid buying a new car: When you eventually buy a car, see if you can make<br />
do with a pre-owned vehicle. A new car depreciates significantly the moment you<br />
drive it out the dealership. Pre-owned cars that are only a few years old with low<br />
mileage are the best bargains.<br />
• Combine errands: Run as many errands as you can in one trip to cut down on<br />
your driving time.<br />

WAYS TO SAVE MONEY IN THESE<br />
HARD ECONOMIC TIMES<br />
In these tough economic times, everyone is looking for ways to save money. Now more than ever, it’s more important to make<br />
every penny count. When tough times hit, it’s hard to know where you need to tighten your belt, but these tips on saving money<br />
can help you get started.<br />
• Turn off unused electronics: Even when turned off, electronics like cell phone<br />
chargers, DVD players and televisions spew 18 million tons of CO2 into the<br />
atmosphere annually. By unplugging them, a family can save up to $256 annually.<br />
• Thermostat: Just by using a programmable thermostat, you can save about $100<br />
a year in energy costs<br />
• Do the dishes: Use reusable dishes for your meals instead of paper plates and cups.<br />
• Run full loads of clothes and dishes. Most of the energy used by dishwashers<br />
is to heat a set amount of water, so running smaller loads wastes both energy and<br />
water. Air dry dishes for added energy savings.<br />
• Change washing machine settings: Heating water uses energy and costs money.<br />
Wash your clothes in warm or cold water instead of hot.<br />
• Shade your windows: Close shades, blinds or drapes during the day to keep light<br />
and heat from coming in through the windows. Direct sunlight will heat your home<br />
and cause the AC to work harder. Alternately, uncovering windows to let sun in<br />
could be helpful for heating in the winter.<br />
• Use compact fluorescent bulbs: If every U.S. household replaced one traditional<br />
light bulb with a compact fluorescent one, people would save $600 million nationally<br />
in utility bills.<br />
• Bundle cable and internet. You can save a lot of money by bundling these<br />
together rather than purchasing the separately.<br />
• Use cell phones - skip the landline.<br />
• Cancel subscriptions. We don’t get the newspaper or magazines. Almost<br />
everything we want can be found on-line for free.<br />
• Water your outdoor plants in the early morning, before the sun can burn off<br />
moisture. The average lawn needs only one hour of watering a week.<br />
• Raise your mower blades to the 3-inch setting. Shaggy grass holds moisture<br />
longer, requiring less watering.<br />
• Plant a tree: Strategic placement of trees and bushes around your home can<br />
increase shade and decrease energy consumption. Try shading your air conditioning<br />
unit as well as windows that get a lot of sun. Just three trees can save between $100<br />
and $250 a year in heating and cooling costs.<br />
• Quit smoking: It’s much easier said than done, but smokers, you’re burning up a<br />
gold mine. Smoking a pack a day costs about $1,460 a year.<br />
• Use cloth napkins, towels and diapers: Paper napkins, paper towels and<br />
disposable diapers are easy and convenient, but cloth can be washed and used<br />
again. Use these to save money and the environment.<br />
• Change your air filters: A clogged or dirty air filter reduces airflow to the<br />
heating or AC unit, causing it to work harder and use more energy. Change your<br />
filters once a month.<br />
• Buy used if possible. Before buying something new, ask friends or relatives, look<br />
at garage sales or thrift shops, look on eBay or other similar sites where used<br />
stuff is sold. You’re helping a product live longer, thus reducing the impact on the<br />
environment, and at the same time getting it much cheaper (and sometimes just<br />
like new).<br />
• Take care of things. Treat things you own with respect and take good care of<br />
them. This includes doing things such as cleaning your house, washing your cars, and<br />
polishing shoes. Things last much longer when you take good care of them.<br />
• Insulation. Be sure your house is properly insulated to save on heating and cooling<br />
costs. Many people allow their house to lose a ton of energy a year by neglecting<br />
this important step.<br />
• Is your water set to scalding? Cool it. If you have a tank water heater, turn down<br />
the temp a bit to save major energy. Many installers set heaters to 140 degrees, but<br />
you can comfortably get away with closer to 120 - which is hot enough to get your<br />
dishes clean - you’ll save 6%-10% on water-heating costs.<br />
FINANCES<br />
• Consolidate and pay off debt as soon as possible: If you carry any debt, focus<br />
on consolidating it to a lower interest rate and paying it off as soon as possible.<br />
Money paid in interest is money thrown away! Carrying a $1,000 balance at 18%<br />
blows $180 every year on interest. Get in the habit of paying off your balance in<br />
full each month.<br />
• Negotiate your rate - Instead of paying an APR of 18% on your credit card, call<br />
your issuer and ask for a lower rate. If you have good credit, your lender might<br />
consider it.<br />
• Shop for a new card with a lower interest rate. Watch out for introductory<br />
offers. You don’t want to get reeled in with the promise of a 5% rate only to find<br />
that it’ll shoot up to 18% after three or six months - unless you’re confident you<br />
can pay off your entire balance within the introductory time frame.<br />
• Pay your bills on time and avoid late fees: Get organized about your regular<br />
bills. If possible, automate the payments. Making sure your credit is in tip-top shape<br />
can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars in the long run. You’re entitled<br />
by law to one free credit report once a year from each of the three main credit<br />
bureaus. Go to www.annualcreditreport.com to see what lenders can see about<br />
your credit history.<br />
• Get checking with bling! No-interest checking is so old fashioned. Instead, give<br />
your money more opportunity to shine with an interest-bearing online checking<br />
account.<br />
• Avoid ATM fees: Be aware of the ATM withdrawal fees charged by your bank. Be<br />
sure to use only those ATM machines where your bank will not charge the fees, or<br />
withdraw directly at your bank.<br />
• Avoid credit cards with annual fees: Credit cards with their cash back bonuses<br />
and reward points are a great way to save some money. Just make sure that the card<br />
does not charge you any annual fees!<br />

ENTERTAINMENT<br />
• Get an online DVD store membership: Membership to online movie stores<br />
like Netflix or Blockbuster Online can save you a lot of money compared to buying<br />
DVDs or renting it from a local store.<br />
• Dust off your library card and enjoy DVDs and books for free and you can<br />
cut costs by $30. Plus, check out library-sponsored events, such as book readings<br />
and clubs, film screenings and lectures.<br />
• If you like watching movies at the theater, go before 6p.m.: Go before 6p.m.<br />
when the tickets are a little less expensive.<br />
• As any parent knows, a good chunk of any entertainment budget can<br />
be eaten up just paying the babysitter. Join forces with a relative, neighbor<br />
or friend and trade off watching each other’s kids, instead. For example, you watch<br />
their kids one Saturday evening and they watch yours the following weekend. If<br />
you spent $10 to $20 a week on a babysitter, you could save $560 to $1,120 per<br />
year with your co-op.<br />
• Buy tickets in bulk to get a 10% (or more) discount to many exhibitions and<br />
events. Team up with friends, co-workers or relatives to get the lower rate.<br />
• Forget the gym membership that’ll cost you almost $500 a year. Instead,<br />
check out community centers in your area. Some may be free or charge a minimal<br />
fee, such as $100 a year. Or buy a good pair of running shoes, or dust off that bike<br />
and work out the old-fashioned way.<br />
• College campuses are a trove of quality entertainment options,<br />
from<br />
student musical performances, film festivals, art exhibits, theater productions, dance<br />
recitals, sporting events and more.<br />
• There is plenty of free and cheap entertainment to be had at the hands of<br />
Mother Nature. Go hiking, picnicking, bird watching, fishing, kayaking or camping.<br />
You could even host a campout and hotdog roast in your backyard. The sky’s the<br />
limit.<br />
Free Things to Do This Summer<br />

Golfer ‘swings’ by Underwood to give clinic<br />
More than 30 <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Bliss</strong> golfers got into the swing of things when PGA<br />
Tour veteran Calvin Peete dropped by George V. Underwood Golf<br />
Complex to give a clinic Feb. 20.<br />
The 65-year-old Peete, a 12-time winner on the PGA Tour and its most<br />
accurate driver for 10 straight seasons, was in Las Cruces, N.M., for a<br />
tournament and decided to stop by Underwood to show his support for<br />
the troops.<br />
“A gentleman called from New Mexico State University and asked if<br />
it would be alright for Mr. Peete to come down here and maybe give a<br />
clinic for the military,” said Bobby Kaerwer, manager of Underwood Golf<br />
Complex. “They asked if we’d be interested in hosting him, and I said sure,<br />
you bet, we’d love to have him.<br />
“It was nice, because everything with the tournament was being done up<br />
in Las Cruces, and he was the one that said, ‘I’m here, is there a military<br />
post that’s close by so I could may do something for the service guys?’ It’s<br />
something that came out of him,” Kaerwer continued. “He just wanted to<br />
come down and do something for the military, and that’s why he came.”<br />
Between 35 and 40 golfers received instruction on how to improve their<br />
golf swing in a clinic that lasted about 30 minutes, Kaerwer said, and was<br />
beneficial for golfers of all skill levels.<br />
“Basically, he discussed fundamentals as far as the golf swing is concerned<br />
– what people need to work on, having a good grip, having a good rhythm<br />
in their swing, doing things that are mechanically correct,” he said. “He<br />
demonstrated some skills that he felt like if the people there worked on<br />
them, it would certainly help their game.”<br />

Following the demonstration, Peete opened up to questions and answers,<br />
and then retired to the clubhouse to spend time with the military golfers<br />
present.<br />
“One of the things that was nice was that,<br />
not only did he give the clinic, but when<br />
he was finished he came back in here and<br />
socialized with the members, and people<br />
got a chance to talk to him,” Kaerwer<br />
said. “It was not just a hit-and-miss type<br />
thing where he came in, did the clinic<br />
and then walked away. He spent time<br />
talking to people, a lot of pictures were<br />
taken – it was a good event.”<br />
The clinic was different than ones previously<br />
hosted at the Golf Complex because it was offered<br />
at no cost to the Soldiers or the facility, Kaerwer said.<br />
“In the past we’ve had other people here giving clinics, … but we’ve<br />
usually had to pay for them,” he said. “This was doubly good in that … we<br />
didn’t have to pay for it. He wanted to do it on his own.”<br />
Peete did not begin playing golf until he was 23 years old. He excelled at<br />
the game, despite his late start and the challenges presented by an arm<br />
that never properly set after being broken when he was a youngster living<br />
in Missouri. Peete never became a power player, but was known for his<br />
accuracy and consistent, error-free play. The most successful African-<br />
American golfer on the PGA tour before the emergence of Tiger Woods,<br />
Peete was inducted into the African American Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame<br />
in 2002.<br />
In recognition of his years of dedication to the game he loves, Bobby Kaerwer, head golf professional and manager<br />
at the George V. Underwood Golf Complex, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Sun Country<br />
Section of the PGA of America.<br />
“You’re very honored to be recognized by your peers,” said Kaerwer, who has been at Underwood since 1971.<br />
“But, you know, if you’re doing the things that you’re doing – if you’re doing it to be recognized, you’re doing it<br />
for the wrong reasons. That’s the way I feel about it.<br />
“I mean, I’m doing my job, and my job as a golf professional is to promote the game of golf,” he continued. “That’s<br />
what my job is, and I have to do it for everybody. I have to do it for men, I have to do it for women, I have to do<br />
it for kids … but it’s something I want to do.”<br />
While just “doing his job,” Kaerwer has, according to the Sun Country Section, “arguably had as big of an impact<br />
on golf and golf professionals as anyone in the history of the Sun Country PGA.” This impact includes having<br />
held every office in the section, including the presidency. On the national level, Kaerwer has served on the PGA<br />
National Education Committee and the PGA National Apprentice Committee, and was at one time a faculty<br />
member in a program that provided instructors to assistant golf professionals who aspired to become members<br />
of the PGA of America. He was also instrumental in getting a professional golf management program instituted<br />
at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces.<br />
Kaerwer has been elected to the El Paso Golf Hall of Fame, has won numerous national and section awards, and<br />
is a featured teacher in Golf Magazine’s South Central Region.<br />
“I guess that’s kind of it in a nutshell,” said Kaerwer, who graduated from Texas Tech University with bachelor’s<br />
and master’s degrees in education and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army in 1967. “I have been very<br />
fortunate over the years to have some great people who have worked alongside me.<br />
“My staff inside the golf shop has been a great staff,” he continued. “The Golden Tee has been one of those<br />
facilities that has been well-received by everybody, also, and then I’ve got great office support in Kris [Woodson]<br />
and Shirley [Rehrig] inside. I’ve been very, very fortunate to be surrounded by some good people.”
