Keith Allen Goetz Olympia, Washington Mathematics Air Force A viation Keith began his USNA career in Lucky 1 3 at a strapping 1 35 lbs. Hailing from Olympia, WA., his devotion remained with one Molly Bee. After screening his classmates from heat all year, he made the move to Fightin ' 5. There he began to grow physically, especially in cover size which, as Kip and I can attest, reached global proportion. Soon after one memorable and expensive weekend, his devotion faltered. He soon became known as Emillio, making frequent trips to U of M in order to maintain civil military relations with several young ladies. One of these trips, while conducting unrep ops, found Gucch ' faced with a real live fatal attraction. Falling in and out of love almost continuously, Keith began first class year with a resurrected Beemer and an emest desire to wear powder blue. All kidding aside, there ' s lots of great memories bud, good luck in flight school and take care. Through good and bad . . . friends forever. DCB Steven Mitchell Graves Cedar Rapids, Iowa History Naval Aviation Well Red, it ' s been a couple of tough years. You leave USNA with a much better understanding of many things: salmon fishing, girls (Dahlgren girls to be exact), and Jack D. ( My head keeps flipping back and forth. ), just to name a few. I ' ll sure miss those talk sessions that lasted till zero dark hundred. Yea, right! Lets never forget 1 9 hours of sleep with our $ 1 50 beards in bear infested Denali. Nothing quite like eating with the bugs. The salmon fishing at Soldotna was definitely a highlight of first class summer. Where did that $500 go anyway? The rest went to the yuppie George Jetson-mobile. I guess the best way to sum it all up is a. coupl e of key words: country music, fish, farm, Alaska, bars, bikes, Baltimore babes (hey we never did get new w — .), but most of all, friendship. Best of luck to you and N. God bless and please keep in touch. AGC Christopher Lee Harkins Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Systems Engineering Nuclear Power — Submanines Who could ever forget the baby-faced kid from New Hartford, starting his Navy career by taking laughing lessons from the 1 9th platoon commander during plebe summer. Having learned his lessons well, Chris continued to laugh his way through Navy U. Who wouldn ' t with a good luck horseshoe embedded deep in his bowels? From a youngster year liason with an old friend (who just happened to be a plebette), through a dislocated kneecap which left him ineligible for protramid but eligible for a three week Cocoa Beach vacation, and even throuch a tense 8-week period during 2 C year in which he was forced to park his 300ZX in the yard — Chris laughed his way through all the trials and onto brigade staff 1 C year. Of course, the question is, will the scrog monster ' s wiles cause another female to gasp, I ' m melting, or has his little marine from Duke put an end to Chris ' philandering? RWT, JOB, TRS Kyle Duane Kliewer Port Orchard, Washington Mathematics Surface Warfare When Kyle came to Fifth company, he showecf us his true self when he became known for hour long showers, massive rack time, and jazz music above the threshold of pain into his headphones. As second class year hit, the sleep disappeared and showers were squeezed in between studying and writing music for the Drum Buggle Corps. His Jazz was toned down through the Trident Brass which he became president of first class year. The Meat ' s intense style of playing bo th the bells for D B and piano will always be remembered. As a second class, Kyle joined the Officers ' Christian Fellowship and played piano for all the retreat talent shows. More than a few D Ber ' s will remember Kyle for the D B Bible study discussions that he helped lead. As a Surface Line selectee, Kyle has prepared his coffee mug through heavy use. After rooming with him for two years, I can say that Kyle is a great guy and a great friend. Good luck and God bless. MWS 452

5 Harry Chris Demiris Valley Stream. New York ■ ; Political Science Naval Aviation Harry came to the Naval Academy hailing from the growmg metropolis of Valley Stream, N.Y. Better known to his friends as the teflon man. Harry often demonstrated why Poly Sci majors will go further in this world. His gift for gab and smooth personality helped this boy wander out of more form 2 ' s and into more gouge courses than you could shake a stick at. And when the teflon man wasn ' t working the charm on the Conduct Officer or the Registrar, the local women ' s colleges were always free game. Never at a loss for words or women, boy if that blue Z could talk what stories it would tell. Harry showed us all what good friends are all about. A sure sucker for the beach and babes, ole Harry plans on spending the first few years on the Pensacola beaches in search of those wings of gold. I ' m sure the Nav ' has found what they ' re looking for with a top notch pilot like Harry in the cockpit. Semper Fi, my friend! SHE Jerry Bennett Dismuke Jackson. Mississippi Elecrtical Engineering Surface Warfare Jerry came to us out of Jackson Mississippi. When he got to USNA he decided to lake the challenge of being an electrical engineer. You had us worried a few times. Jerry, but we all knew you would make it. I cannot count the number of times you took a nap and set your alarm to get up to study, but when it was time to get up you would say those famous words of yours, IN A MIN- UTE. Jerry, better known as Prak (the Russian word meaning cool), how can you be so tired that you wake your roommates up twice in one night snoring? Jerry always had a desire to be a fine naval officer. Too bad that desire never carried over into bas- ketball. Keep trying Old Man and you ' ll finally dunk that ball. That is your attitude Try and try again if you do not succeed the first time. You have been a great friend and classmate. Keep that smile which took you years to perfect and never forget our four years by the bay. AGC RGI James Robert Downs Columbus. Ohio Political Science Naval Flight Officer Chip came to USNA from Columbus, Ohio, but eventuaUy worked his way out of that handicapped start. He was my most reliable running partner and always maintained a happy-go-lucky attitude that made him fun to be around. Best of luck always, and may you and Beth find everlasting happiness. — Jeff Body by surburst. You never failed to amaze me with your culinary ex- ploits It ' s been a pleasure to be your friend over these years. How else could I have met all those babes on the beach in Ohio? I wish you and Beth the best in your lives together. Remember, P-3 ' s are 1. — Rich Wow what a roommate. I can ' t believe we ' re still sane after three years together. I will admit you are a great guy, but don ' t act like you ' re from Ohio and we ' ll all get along better. Good luck with the wife and keep your head in the sky. — Benny Scott Hayden Evans Kingston. Pennsylvania Phyical Science U.S. Marine Corps . Scotty, a native of Kingston (Mecca), Pa., came to the academy via NAPS, where he was transformed into the Gouge Hound of Navy Scott lived by the saying an ounce of gouge is worth a pound of knowledge. His files however, enabled him to become a regular at Pete ' s Place, the Vous, and Ivan ' s. He enjoyed many good times at the academy with the guys, or at least the next day we told him that he had fun! The ladies were often charmed by Scott s rough and more than ready approach. Who could resist a guy armed with a wife beater t-shin, boxers, black sox, and a beer throvtm in for effect? You are a die hard Manne and a true fnend! Even though vou are not from Noo Yawk, I still love you like a brother. Just make sure that you drive tanks better than you dnve Suzuki Samurais, is it possible to roll a tank? Quantico has finally found what they have been looking for! Ooh Rah! HCD 451

5 David James Lucchesi Manassas, Virginia , Mathematics Surface Warfare The line is long and distinguished: there was I, A, S, C. G, K, and who could forget Skelctor (Cheese is trying to). His USNA experience was bumpy. Elke broke his heart, he broke his car; sports ravished his knees, he ravished the aforementioned. L.B. could be seen with his rooster doo and progressive clothes giving rides to ' ■Lizards ' in his chick magnet. Excesses were a large part of his non-studious career (ie. REM and alcohol (twice around, up and down)). If Cheese wasn ' t spending his Christmas in Hawaii or diving in the Keys, he was furthering international relations in Time ' s Square. This full contact basketball champ and skiing stud muffin found pleasure in expoiting those obvious weaknesses in his shipmates. In the end, this Manassassian used his ' oh so fine rack study skills to prepare himself to be the finest minesweepin ' officer in Bluejacket history. Good luck Dave, it was . . . ,well you know! TGK Keith Edward Miller Cheyenne, Wyoming Chemistry Nuclear Power — Surface If ever there was an individual who exemplified every desirable and outstanding quality. Doc Miller was it. King of the first impression. Screen was nearly as flawless as he made our parents believe. However, the nerds were way off when they formulated their opinions of his suppossed innocence. Although charm, wit, intelligence and quiesence were mere portions of his total package, those who truely knew him saw other traits. Vociferous at times and asleep perpetually, this native Cheyennophyte dabbled in chemistry and made his four years on the banks of the Severn a success, despite a shakey beginning with Lt. Awesome and SCI 01. Upperclassdome brought with it numerous lady friends of all ages (all legal of course) and less free time than a ploober has — that is what ' s in store for an aspiring Honor Guru. Of course there was always time for a little Mecca. May calm seas and fair winds be with you always! God bless you Nuke Stud. DJL John Francis O ' Brien Mclean, Virginia History Naval Flight Officer As John reflects back on his four years at USNA, he can take pride in having had a complete midshipman experience, ranging from varsity soccer player to second class battalion commander. The Fanatic earned his nickname through his intense love for military history and his relentless efforts to ensure high standands among the striper organization. O.B. worked hard and played hard all four years at USNA. He could frequently be spotted on the hunt in town or on the road toward Hood, Goucher, or other targets of opportunity. Yet, when the party was over, John was back in the hall excelling academically in front of his EE or German book. It is questionable whether his athletic talents or military bearing earned this scholar-athlete more fame, but Johnny O. won ' t be easily forgotten. Look John!! That plebe is holding his cover improperly!! KAV Benjamin Braman Peet Providence. Rhode Island General Engineering Naval Aviation Ben, Ben, Ben. I guess it was inevitible to end up with you as a roommate. You ' ve got to admit, we ' ve been like brothers for the past three years, even with your gross music, my excessive clean- liness, and our different interests. Your heart ' s in the right place. Maybe the four of us will end up on the same carrier someday! — Chipper. The only friend 1 know that has an infinite number of relatives. I don ' t know how vou ' ll spend all your time now that your Naval Academv sailing career is over — just maybe you can try working out every once in awhile. No matter how you spend it, I imagine vou ' ll always be having fun. Best of luck and always remember the four! — Jeffy We survived youngster year together despite many attempts on your part not to. Remember the shaving cream? Many beers and hangovers later, we ' re still friends. Imagine that! All the luck, see you on the beach. — Rich 453
