Camden Military Academy’s Class of 2009
Camden Military Academy opened its doors on September 8, 1958, with 95 cadets from sixteen states and four foreign countries. The class of 1959 graduated with nine seniors and dedicated their first yearbook that states: As a new son to its father, Camden Military Academy dedicates its annual to its president, Col. James F. Risher. In thinking of his influence on our lives, we are reminded of the words of a great writer: “The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness. “If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.” (See page 7 for the 2009 cadet names and their future plans.)

be. I have been equipped with everything that I need to succeed and excel in life, and I owe it to Camden Military Academy. I especially owe it to you Colonel Boland, Lt. Colonel Armstrong, SGM Greene, Lt. Colonel Heflin, Mr. Dumont, and all the students and faculty involved in my growth and development. I thank everyone for believing in me, believing in the young man that I have become. I most certainly thank God for every blessing he has given me. Lastly, and certainly not least, I thank my Mother and Sister for always being there for me and never giving up. It truly has been an honor to serve as a cadet at Camden Military Academy the last five years. Thank you for your time, everyone and may God smile on each and every one of you. (Presented at the March 6, 2009 Excalibur Society Dinner by LTC Elijah Kitts)
Mr. and Mrs. Scarborough, Colonel and Mrs. Boland, and distinguished members of the Excalibur Society and friends and alumni of Carlisle Military School, Camden Academy, and Camden Military Academy. On behalf of the corps of cadets, it is an honor for me to talk about our school and thank you for your unconditional support of CMA. Five years ago, I was certain that I would never find myself in an institution such as Camden Military. Furthermore, I can honestly tell you that four and a half years ago, upon arriving to this academy, I had no intention of standing before you making this speech as I am this evening. I am Lieutenant Colonel Elijah Kitts from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I am the president of our honor council, the Honor Society, the student body and most importantly I serve as cadet Battalion Commander. Growing up, my father was absent. I did not have a father figure in my life, and I was mischievous, to say the least. My mother has gone above and beyond to make ends meet for me and my sister, working 50-60 hour weeks from the day that I was born until the present. My mother means the most to me in this world, and I always seek to find ways to make her happy and proud of the young man she has raised on her own. Needless to say prior to my attending the Academy, I wasn’t much to be proud of. Over the summer and early fall of 2004, I was living a very selfish lifestyle that was headed down a dead end street. I personally chose and affiliated myself with a group of kids whom I allowed to be a negative moral influence on me. I was very ignorant and naïve to what my mother told me. My father was absent, and I was searching…searching for answers to certain questions. I had no idea where to find the answers.
In late fall of 2004, I was expelled from my public middle school due to foolish and immature actions. When I received the information that my only option was Camden Military Academy I thought my life was over. Fortunately for me, that part of my life was over. I was thirteen years of age when I was first introduced to the life styles and ways of the Academy. Upon arriving at CMA, I noticed hundreds of young men, in crisp, pressed gray shirts with nearly perfectly ironed military blue pants with black stripes and shiny brass belt buckle to top the uniform off. I asked myself, are we at Fort Bragg? But little did I know that within a few hours I would be a part of the corps of cadets at Camden Military Academy, wearing the same sharp uniform. My eighth grade year at Camden Military Academy was not anything to be proud of. But nonetheless, in May of 2005 I made a decision that altered my life. I chose to return to and finish my high school career at this fine institution. Although my mother wasn’t financially stable, she facilitated my wish to stay, and that has made the biggest difference in my life. Freshman year was the starting point of my new life. I was a sergeant, and determined to make something of my life and time at Camden Military Academy. I started in the academic region, making Dean’s List every two weeks and even tutoring some of my fellow cadets. By the end of the first semester I had attained a 4.0 GPA, and wanted more. I moved on to my next area of personal development, leadership. After Christmas break of my freshman year. I was given the opportunity by SGM Greene to be the squad leader of third squad, second platoon in Band and Staff Company. That might have been the first time in my life when a man at Camden Military Academy had filled the void in my life - the void of a father figure, someone that believed in me and believed that I could make a difference in this institution. During my sophomore year I was given another chance at becoming the leader I was meant to be. I was made platoon sergeant of second platoon, and in charge of young men of ages varying from 13-18. I accepted the challenge to lead by example, not only in formations, but in the classroom, as well. In May of 2007, I received the highest GPA in the sophomore class and the final General Order of the 2006-07 school year announced that I was going to
be the First Sergeant of Band and Staff. Once again SGM Greene put faith and trust in me, and I did not fail. In return, I, and other members of the chain of command, were able to make a positive difference and received Honor Company for the year. On May 18th, 2008, the final General Order marked the high point of my entire seventeen years of life. It was announced on that day, that I had been chosen to be the Battalion Commander for the following school year. I cannot express to you how much that meant to me. It was my mother’s birthday, and she could not have been prouder. So I return now to the statement I made earlier. I was searching for answers to certain questions for which I had no idea where to look. I stand here before you now, fully decorated, and now fully knowledgeable of what I was searching for. I was searching mainly for a reason, a reason to stand out in a crowd; a reason to achieve the unimaginable; and a reason to do something with my life. You see, it’s not that I didn’t have anybody there to answer the questions. It’s that I did not have the structure needed to answer those questions. Over the past four and a half years I have been truly graced by Camden Military. I have been put into an environment that demanded a change in my life and an environment that supported that change. Every member of the Faculty and Staff at the Academy has provided me with an incentive to be who I am today. I have bonded with fellow cadets and have established relationships that I know will last the rest of my life. I have been given the opportunity to become the best leader I can be, and have been guided the entire way. What I am trying to say is this: Camden Military Academy and everyone involved have given me the foundation for the rest of my life. Please forgive my modesty, but I have become a distinguished young man that I, myself, respect. There is no doubt in my mind that my experience and the knowledge I have been given, will help me face whatever obstacles I might encounter. In closing, I would like to mention that I plan on attending The Citadel in the fall. Some say that the knob year at The Citadel is one of the hardest tasks to accomplish. I proudly stand before you saying this: I have confidence in myself. I am confident because Camden Military Academy has given me a vision of the man that I have the potential to

CMA’s Spring FlingCMA’s spring calendar is always full, from the classrooms to the athletic fields. Campus activities such as sponsoring the Kershaw County Special Olympics provide an opportunity for some of the cadets to help with the various events. Off campus, some cadets choose to engage in annual trips, such as the Winter Jam Concerts, as well as seminars sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. This year, the Color Guard helped to dedicate the Camden Archives and Museum that was held after their remodeling and addition was completed. The Carolina Cup is always a fun-filled event, although the rain and storms lingered through the Color Guard’s presentation, as well as through several horse races. The Key Club, lead by former admission’s director Gene McCaskill, collected canned goods for one of the local food drives. The sixth annual Headmaster’s Golf Tournament was once again a big success. A visit by CSM Martain will always bring a smile to the campus TACs, as well as faculty and staff members.

CMA’s Graduation 2009 Weekend...Every year Colonel Boland and LTC Armstrong start the celebration of senior class graduation weekend by serving them steak dinners the week of the graduation. The Baccalaureate service on Friday night is held for the seniors and their families, as well as faculty and staff members. Awards are given on Saturday afternoon and the dance committee decorates White’s Gymnasium for the dance. After the dance, the gym is prepared for the graduation ceremony. The 2009 speaker was Reverend Andre Rogers, founder and director of Pastoral Ministries at Columbia International University, who encouraged the seniors to “make a difference” in whatever field they choose to go in and whatever path they choose to follow.

The Carlisle alumni traveled in great numbers, once again, as they visited Camden for the 2009 class reunion. A Friday night reception held at the Quality Inn in Lugoff kicked things off with pre-registration. The Saturday events included lunch in the dining hall, parade, and a chapel service to remember the classmates and former faculty and staff members from the good old days of Carlisle. The parade was also a special time for both Carlisle and Camden as it recognized former teacher of both schools, James Watson, with a special dedication with his family members who were present for the parade and service. The parade also recognized 1940 Carlisle alumnus, Bill Hamilton, who was the oldest to attend this year’s reunion. Alongside Mr. Hamilton was special guest Brad Blazek (CMA’99) and his wife, Terri. Brad was made an honorary member of Carlisle, in honor of his service to this country and endur-ing months of hospitalization and rehab for wounds received in Iraq. The Saturday night banquet was held at the American Legion Post 17 building in Camden where the Carlisle members gathered once again for food, dancing, and new memories with their classmates. CMA thanks all the attendees for taking the time to visit Camden. The Alumni Office wants all Camden and Carlisle alumni to know that they can make their own plans to meet their classmates at any time they choose, and it doesn’t have to be on campus, unless they choose to include a parade of the CMA Corps of Cadets.

Mcelmurray ’50, C. lamar ’60, T. Ridgeway ’48, Pete Manos ’48, and Van Doubleday ’48; below that group are K. ebersold ’73, h. Moore ’73,
C. hodge ’73, Pete Manos ’48, M. Threatt ’53, g. Benton ’65, D. Davis ’73, J. hinely ’75, and R. Newsome ’72. The original Carlisle sign and cannons were freshly painted for the occasion and alumni gathered around the Carlisle house to look at the various decade collages and reminisce. Colonel Risher and his nephew, James F. Risher, III and his wife, Joan, stopped outside the Carlisle house long enough for a picture. The bottom left picture shows members of the class of 1958, which had the most participants of any class. Sadly, though, just a few weeks after the reunion, they lost Bob hough. Reuniting when you can and while you’re still healthy is a time that will never be forgotten and is more important than any of us know. All classes of all schools can plan a reunion, at anytime or anywhere!
After my Marine Corps stint I attended Clemson for one year, ran out of funds and returned home to Miami, Florida to attend the university there. Before long I became a Cadet Major in the ROTC program. On commissioning, I entered the Air Force and remained for 30 years. When I started at Carlisle at 11 years of age, my life was shaped, and my value system established, during those next six years, but it was not then apparent to me.
No part of my life was more influenced by any activity or series of events, like my life at Carlisle. I entered the Air Force with my ROTC commission in 1953. I had found my life’s work. It was, and is, a flying business, and my eyesight precluded pilot training, so I became a navigator. For the next 30 years there were unpredictable twists and turns, opportunities of various kinds. Got the essential master’s degree, a stint at the Advanced Management Program at Harvard, attended professional schools, and served from the squadron level to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. AND, I assure you, I didn’t have any more natural intelligence or magical skill set, than what I had when I left Bamberg, and what you will have when you leave Camden. What does this mean to the Camden graduating class of 2009? I hope it will illustrate that you may not realize the value, and your ability to capitalize, on the fine education you are now receiving, and the accumulative effect of your years in the Camden system. You are learning more than you know, a lot more than academics, and you are maturing in a disciplined environment, and receiving a Gift that you may appreciate immediately, or not for several years, but the payoff will be there. Carlisle and Camden, two great contributors to the lives of young men who are aware of the obvious differences of not going to school in their neighborhoods back home, but for whom the Gift looms large on their future horizons.
With every good wish for your future success,
Van C. Doubleday,Major General, USAF (Ret.)Carlisle, 1947

Col. Eric Boland Receives The Col. Lemuel Benton Award for Excellence in Patriotic EndeavorsGraduation weekend for Camden Military Academy not only recognized its cadets for outstanding grades, talents, and military prowess,
it was a day that members of the South Carolina Society of the Sons of the American Revolution presented The Colonel Lemuel Benton Award for Excellence in Patriotic Endeavors. Colonel Eric Boland, headmaster of the academy, proudly accepted the award during the annual awards program that was held on Saturday, May 16, 2009. The award is presented annually to a person, SCSSAR Chapter, school, VFW, Color Guard, etc., that exhibits an almost daily dedication to excellence in patriotism. This is a leadership award that subscribes to the objects of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, which are declared to be in part: Patriotic, Historic, and Educational. This award was also designed to galvanize the SCSSAR chapters by joint presentation, and must be made known to another SCSSAR Chapter in the area where the award is being given. The award consists of a framed document with a vignette of “Washington and Tarleton Duel at Cowpens” by William Ranney, courtesy of the South Carolina Senate,
the poem, “I’m Your Flag” by Ronald J. Horton, and a scriptural motto, St. Matthew 25:21. The award has lines left and right of a gold seal depicting the then new 1776 South Carolina seal with flashing, for the appropriate signatures: president, honored contributor Ronald J. Horton, chapter secretary, and the date. A recipient may only receive this award once and no medal is available.
An executive committee comprised of former NSSAR officers and current chapter officers review a short list of prospective recipients generated by the awards committee. Colonel Boland was the chosen premier recipient of this award and recognized for his long history of outstanding leadership from Athletics Director to Headmaster at Camden Military Academy, a rare school whose patriotic format is inherent and clearly celebrated. According to Richard K. Johnson, of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, “In our eyes there is no finer calling, nor more important task, than dedicating one’s life to preparing young boys to become confident, well educated young men.”
SCSSAR members pictured above from (l-r) are Fred Kellogg, Jr. (Pee Dee V. President National Society SAR), Richard Johnson (President Col. Lemuel Benton Chapter), Rhett Adams (President Col. Joseph Kershaw Chapter), Doug Doster (SC State Society President), Col. Boland, Frank Lachicotte (Lowcountry VP), Ronald J. Horton (Past VP General NSSAR), and Miles Gardner (State Genealogist).
Major General Van C. Doubleday (CMS’47) was inducted in the Air Force’s Communications and Information Hall of Fame in 2008. He began his military career as an enlisted member of the U.S.Marine Corps. In 1952, he received his Air Force commission and went on to serve as a navigator, Air Traffic Controller and communicator. General Doubleday was the first Air Traffic Controller to become general officer. He established the Retired General Officers Organization and was a driving force in the realignment of JCS C4 Systems operations into a separate three-star 36 function. After his retirement in 1980, General Doubleday served 15 years with Honeywell International as an operations director for world-wide support and as a division chief of staff. General Doubleday is a Master Navigator with 5,000 flying hours that include 68 combat missions in Southeast Asia.

Senator O’Dell graduated from The Citadel in 1960. He earned the S.C. Coalition for Small Business and Entrepreneurship’s S.C. Small
Business Legislator of the Year Award. The Senator stated in the November 2008 South Carolina Business issue, “My father always insisted that we be involved or know what was going on politically at the state and local levels with some understanding of what was going on at the federal level, too.” The Senator was the recipient of the Palmetto Award from The Citadel in 1994 and the Alumni Achievement Award at Camden Military Academy in October 2000. He is presently a member of CMA’s board of trustees; and he and his wife, Gayle, are active Knight members of the Excalibur Society of the academy.

CMA cadet, Keith garrison, a rising senior of the class of 2010, was chosen to attend the Naval Academy Summer Seminar this summer. He was among a select group of approximately 2,250 young men and women from around the nation and world. The seminar is a fast-paced, six-day experience for high achievers who have completed their junior year in high school and are considering applying for admission to the Academy after graduation. The participants will be exposed to life at the Naval Academy, where academics, athletics, and professional training play equally important roles in developing our nation’s leaders.
On behalf of the Carlisle Military School Alumni, I want to thank the faculty, staff, and corps of cadets of CMA for the effort and hospitality placed in making us feel at home during our reunion April 24-25, 2009. We salute you for allowing us a place to fall in once more and form a company of diminishing brothers. And we hope that the words written on the bronze plaque at the base of the parade field flag pole inspire each of us to support Camden Military Academy. With these efforts, we will always have a host Alma Mater to call home. (Written to the alumni office from Gene Cone, Chairman CMS Reunion Committee)
This year we fished out of Mt. Pleasant, SC. It was Gary King, Danny Bledsoe, me, Terry Parker, Mike Couch, and Johnny Mullis. We left out at 5 AM, fished for 5 hours and then returned. We caught 33 Dolphin up to about 25 pounds! Johnny Mullis won the pool for guessing the total number of fish landed. Needless to say it was a GREAT TIME and we will return to Mt. Pleasant for the next one. We fished aboard the AGGRESSOR, a 60 foot custom sportfishing yacht. Arnie Levine (CMA ’71).
