Welcome to the U.S. Naval Academy Class of '67 Web Site

Classmates,

We have past our 40th Anniversary as a Class, and it was quite a show celebrating it. For those in Annapolis it was a glorious weekend (maybe the football score wasn’t so glorious) but everyone had a great time reconnecting with roommates, classmates, teammates and friends from our time as Mids through our now getting to be long service and lives. For those of you who didn’t have the opportunity, or didn’t make the effort, to be at the 40th I urge you to put 18-21 October 2012 on the calendar now.

Having celebrated our 40th and moving onward towards the 45th we still are missing Classmates! Your officers continually attempt to run down “lost” classmates, and try to keep all the “known” classmates from becoming "lost!” To that end I want all of us to continue make the effort to find all of our 1,259 classmates who came together on our “I Day” - 26 June 1963. Turn in any and all “lost” classmates to me and Dick Meade!

For the coming years we have two goals: (1) to reassemble a cadre of Company representatives who will spearhead a renewed drive to bring all of ’67 together, both by Company and by Class; and (2) begin and finish the process of producing a Golden Lucky Bag, to be delivered just before our 45th Reunion. To this end our Lucky Bag Editor-in-Chief of old, Ed Mills, has volunteered to chair the effort. Any old, or new, Lucky Bag volunteers are encouraged to give me or Ed a call or message (410-295-4013).

The big event on the horizon for us is our turn as an “Another Link in the Chain” (ALITC) Class. "Our" 50 year junior class, the mids of 2017, who will be coming in as Plebes in June 2013, are currently 12-14 years old and preparing themselves for what will be a most life altering adventure…and ‘67 will move through the four years of USNA with them. Stay tuned!

One last point, as we enter mid-middle age…we are still only at about 70% members in our Alma mater’s Alumni Association. I want to see us approach 100%, as USNA shaped and molded us to serve and command superbly these past 40+ years! We need to stay organized as an alumni body, and as the unique Class of ’67, to ensure USNA continues to be, now and in the future, the national treasure it was for us.

Your officers can lead the Class much more effectively if we are all members of the Alumni Association, as we now use the Association’s considerable and robust database, communications, reunion and IT support services. Help Wayne Savage (VP), Jim McNeece (Scribe), Ron Brino (Treasurer), Dick Meade (Web and Database Guru), and Steve Phillips (67 Store Manager) serve you; be involved and in contact, often!

Keep enjoying Life! Take care of yourselves and your families…’67 is one great Class, and it is you who make it so!
