7 Matthew Howard Bills Walloon Lake, Michigan [: Physics Special Warfare Matt arrived ' at USNA from The Great Lakes State. He spent his first year here in Cloud Nine, where he was know as Buffalo Bills. Matt was a model Plebe spending weekends at his sponsors or on YP movement orders. In Matt ' s second year, he became the ideal Youngster, which is not to say he was the ideal Midshipman. There was never a dull moment with Matt on weekends, which was the only time one could find him awake, unless he was playing jumpman. All the fun he had youngster year caught up with him in his third year here at Navy , when he met his Helen of Troy. Wars seem trivial to the pains he suffered from her, as he spent a month in the hospital and had two extended tours in Smoke Hall. Matt returned a changed man from his First Class USMC cniise, when he decided that the Marine Corps motif was not for him. So, Matt is off to Coronado, California to become a Navy SEAL, where Yesterday was the Last Easy Day and Rest is for the Dead. TPT William John Blackstone Steger.

MHB David Andrew Bondura Perry Hall. Maryland English Crvptologv „ , . „ Dave came to the Academy after a short stay at Perkiomen Prep School where he earned the title of best post-grad kisser. He then entered the academy with a go get ' m attitude: beer, crabs, and women let ' s go get ' m. Many of these goals were achieved dunng weekends with Dave and other good friends at the ' Hotel Bondura, Maggie ' s, and Fell ' s Point. Dave ' s mild,yet studly per- sonality made him a hit with several beauties and several beasts along the way. If there was an angel to be found Dave would find her Dave also became very attached to weight lifting since the beginning of youngster year. He looked like Lou Femgno with Karen Carpenter ' s legs. His working out had definite effects on his body as shown by the comment Gee Bondo, looking good. First class year Dave lucked out and lived with Nave ' s 1988 Dream Date the Joker. Good luck in Crypto, buddy! You are a true fnend, thanks for being you! HCD Kevin Arnold Brooks Rochester, Minnesota English Marine Aviation . » a a.m Kevin was a very good roommate and most of all a dependame and helpful friend, in spite of coming from the Dork Belt. ' He completed his tour at the Academy in seven semesters instead ot the usual eight. As a VG EP scholar, he held the rank of Mid- shipman USNA(retired) following his Company Commander tour Despite being a top ranked student, Kevin never bore the title ol Geek He was far from being a Geek. A very conditioned future Marine aviator, Kevin was a model midshipman whom 1 really respected He was very involved in so many things, which kept him busy, but he always had a girl at home: this brought on his unusual spnng cleaning, afreshly shaved dome. It always grew back (Thank God) Green B-Day at Miami, and the Breakfast Club are in- famous. Keep working hard, Kevin, You ' ll be one of the best the Ser ice ever had. Thanks for the good times. God bless. KOI TEH 465

Jeffrey David Adams Canton, Ohio General Engineering Naval Aviation JD came to Annapolis with all of the Naval prowess one would expect of a kid from Canton, Ohio. What Jeff did know was football, partying, and fun. Plebe year failed to atTect Jeffs pen- chant for a good time as he moved on to Lucky Seven. Youngster year ' s highlights involved the Annapolis Vice Mobile, a local girlfriend, and the Varsity ' s baptism by fire. Have any of you looked at alternative education? Second class year found JD adapting nicely to the horizontal position as he gave up being a tackling dummy and took up competition for the greater glory of Seven. Jeffs firstie year was a memorable one. His Mustang was never allowed to rest. Firstie memories: Purple Haze, Two Stripes!? True Love. JD s ability to stay ' : step ahead of trouble will come in handy as he arrives in P-cola. He will succeed in all, and we who know just how great a friend he ' s been, love and salute him. PJF Glenn Robert Allen Whiteford, Maryland Physical Science Special Operations When Glenn came to the Academy, he strove to not be mistaken for your typical Napster. Although he always was going to have fun even if it killed him, all hopes of anchorman were shattered youngster year, as well as several bones, thanks to his persistent self-abuse with the wrestling team. Leaving behind the garbage closet and that empty bottle of apple schnapps, Glenn kept up his fast-paced lifestyle second class year in hot pursuit of the fairer sex and a proper burial for the Colt. His far broader musical tastes and maximum liberty policies led him into first class year, with its ups and downs, with the goal of graduation in sight. Affectionately named Hammer, Glenn was always the first to help out another member of the V when they needed it. He always got what he wanted, and that Special Ops billet was no exception. Glenn, few could figure you out, but from one who knows you best, success is guaranteed in all you do. JJF Juan Ramon Balboa Port Huron, Michigan Mathematics Surface Warfare Jay came to us a naive young man from Port Huron, Michigan. After a fun-filled freshman year, he found heaven living in Seventh Company ' s version of Spanish Harlem. Ricky, John, and Mike taught Jay how to keep a clean room, and he was commended for it by the Battalion Officer. Juan also won a two week vacation at MPSS for his creative writing abilities. Who could forget the drunk driving posters he pasted on the walls? Or Captain ' 88? Admiral Parsoneaux sent Jay on a mission, and he ended up getting class cancelled because of a gas pump. Juan strove to be a true math- ematician, and proved that he was eccentric. He was the best blood drive guy ever. Look out. Navy, a whirlwind named Jay is coming. USNA will be a lot duller without him. 464

Michael Scott Danford APO. New York Computer Science Surface Warfare Spunky smiled and shuffled his way into our hearts from some- where in Nebraska (even though he didn ' t know exactly were it was. Even now he insists he is from APO, because they won ' t let him use his van as a place of residence). Plebe year Mikey, blessed with the gift of being able to speak unbelievabley fast, joined the debate team. There, on movement orders over the next two years, Mike enjoyed a lifestyle that even Keith Richards would envy. In his years in Seventh Company, Mike had many bad and good mo- ments (mostly bad), . fterhis dreams of flying the golden skies were shot down Mike ' s only pleasures came from the yellow rose, and of course the DEATH VAN FROM HELL and LUCAS. We ' ll always remember Mike and his heart of gold. He would loan out his van to anyone willing to put their life on the line. Mikey now heads to SWOS still crusading for the Wings of Gold. See you in the friendly skies and remember, We Won ' t Get Fooled Again! AMF John Marshall Elston Lebanon, Oregon Economics Naval Aviation After a rigorous life of sawmills and real college, Jake decided he needed a rest. Sleeping his way through 4 C year, he could dream of nothing but girls. Jets and Vettes during his daily post plebe qtrs nap. Since liberty uniforms were never featured in GQ, Jakespeed dedcided that civilian attire is always appropriate on weekends no matter what class. 3 C year and the most disgusting room in the brigade bonded Jake into the notorious varsity by the great spineless one ( am I boring you Jon? ), As 1 C year approached, expectations were high for many corvette road trips with the boys but pure magnetism quickly prevented that. After a brief tour of the international scene speed turned to his overpowering need for motherly care, and John opted for a nanny to keep for good. Now, after hundreds of eye examinations by Dr Dad, speedster is taking his post apocolyptic oo ' s look to P-cola. If you ain ' t a pilot, you ain ' t ! Best of luck! SM(MC) Paul Joseph Fletcher, Jr. Fryburg, Pennsylvania English Naval Aviation Fletch came to USNA with hayseeds in his hair and with a face that all mothers love (if only they knew the truth). Peej ' s USNA experience can be summed up in three words — GIRLS, CARS,GIRLS. His penchant for J.D. and his ability to drive above and beyond reason always amazed us. PJ ' s vast wardrobe of tight jeans, T-shirts, and cowboy boots impressed us all, as did the DUSTER. Army saw successive fights, girls and Purple Haze. PJ ' s guaranteed to make a fortune, because he never spends any money. Three stripes? The Varsity Tradition. We missed him senior year, but Grove City loved their new son. Will he settle down? Let ' s hope not. Beyond everything else, PJ was a great friend. Undoubtedly, he will succeed in any endeavor, if not by skill through charm. Good luck in P-cola. Always Keep the Faith. CPK James Joseph Fontanella White Plains, New York General Engineering Naval Aviation Font came sailing into Plebe year with an open mind. Much to his dismay, he too had to put up with Plebe summer. Boy, those sailors will say anything to get you here! After being unjustly caught for an act of consumption, his first Dark Ages were spent re- stricting. Jamie came back for Youngster year and surprised us all. After a bout or two with Winnie, Jamie became became a proud member of the elite V. Upon returning from 2 c summer, he decided to stay for good. Being an aero major was no fun and second class year was filled with all-nighters. First class year was filled with benefits: dinghy team captain, three striper libs. Jamie, not being one to allow studying to interfere with entertainment, soon found himself a general engineer to accomodate his rigorous social schedule. But he is soon to be a pilot, and much happier for it. To a sailor, wild-man, and friend, good luck in all you do. GRA 466
