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



January 31, 2012


Classmates,

As we move into the last half of the 2011-2012 academic year, I wanted to let you know that your class officers are deep in the planning of our 45th Reunion on 19-21 October 2012 here in Annapolis. Stay tuned for full details and the registration procedures. Our ’67 Class store is at www.usnaclasstore.com/67store.html and will have the optional reunion items ready in the very near future.

On the real long range calendar Navy opens with Notre Dame in Dublin, Ireland on 1 September 2012 and then travels to play Penn State in State College on the 15th of September. Many classmates are already planning their trip to the Old Sod; I will try and keep an updated listing here. Stay tuned to www.usna.com for further details on a number of Alumni Association tour packages. There is a chance to get ’67 together in Dublin for a pre-game! Let me know if you are planning on to be in Dublin.

During the spring we have two goals: (1) complete reassembling our cadre of Company representatives who will spearhead a renewed drive to bring all of ’67 together, and (2) begin the process of researching the production of a Golden Lucky Bag, to be delivered after our 45th Reunion but before our 50th in 2017. 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).

We still have “missing” Classmates and need their contact details. Your officers continually attempt to run down “lost” classmates, both graduates and non-graduates, and try to keep all “known” classmates from becoming “lost” again. To that end I ask all of you to continue 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, Jim McNeece and/or Dick Meade! And, keep your Alumni Association profile up-to-date!

Also, our turn as “Another Link in the Chain” (ALITC) Class is getting closer. “Our" 50 year junior class, the mids of 2017, will come in as Plebes in June 2013; they are currently 15-19 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! Jack Parry has graciously volunteered to chair this very important class endeavor.

One last point, as we enter the new “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 45+ years! We need to stay über-organized as a class and an integral part of our greater alumni body 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. We use the Association’s considerable and robust database for all class communications, reunion and IT support services. Please ensure your profile is current and you are signed into Online Community on www.usna.com. Also, our class Facebook page is: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/group.php?gid=140114778285

As 2012 opens I want to thank all who made donations/contributions over the past year to the Class of ’67 Class projects (our stadium Battle and Class Arch project total is still a bit short and our Ethics Fellow fund drive remains open) and/or the Annual Fund. For 2012 please keep giving: go to www.usna.com and click at “Giving.”

Help Wayne Savage (VP), Jim McNeece (Scribe), Jack Parry (Treasurer), Dick Meade (Web and Database Guru), and Steve Phillips (‘67 Store Manager) serve you; be involved and in contact, often!

Let’s keep ’67 at the top!

Dave Church
