Marine Corps - Aviation From out of Ihe woods of Pennsylvania came the Duster to the academy, with a fishmg pole in one hand and a gun m the other Dusty came as a recruited football player, and alter two years ol hard work, became one of those offensive lineman responsible for springing Napdean for all those yards Outside of football. Dusty was Ihe par- ty animal. Give him filteen or sixteen beers and he thought he was Nap I have a dent on the hood of my car to prove il, a five yard touchdown dive Never give him beer around a ping pong table ei- ther, or he ' ll dive on that too Dusty is country lo the bone, having qualilied in all categories — music, guns and a truck to lour wheel with He is one of the only guys I know who came m with a girlfriend and will probably graduate with the same girlfriend We won ' t talk about the two and a hall years in be- tween, though Everybody liked Doug m the hall, even the plebes since he was so dedicated to the professional de- velopment program ' ' ' ' ?

Dusty was and will always be a true friend to me His dedication to whatever he does will make him one of the best heto pilots in the Marines. DTR 374 Fourth Company Ronald A. Seivy Clone Sierra Vista, Arizona Aerospace Engineering U.S. Marine Corps - Aviation rnon came from Sierra Vista, AZ, with his Tl- /l 58c firmly attached to his belt ready, willing and able(^) to attack his major ol AERO First. Ronald had to memorize a few simple things in plebe summer He did quite well answering rates, all except one-aircraft speeds He thought this was trivial because it was not written any where stating thai Plebes had to memorize it, so he blew-ii-ofi This did not upset his squad leader too much, it just made poor Ron Ihe center ol attention lor awhile During Plebe Year, Ron had a Second Class whom he looked at as a " Big Bro ' " In the immortal words ol Rich Moore. " Sho ' did I know thai you drawed- up lirst Mr SeIvy " Yes. Ron had committed the omnipotent wrong ol drawing food before his up- perclass I ' m sure Ron will never lorget protocol again Ron could always be lound racing down Mam- street in his pseudo-Porshe Everyone knew thai Ron wanted to buy a sports car When Ron came back off a weekend he lold me he had bought a car I asked what model of Porshe He said it was not a Porshe so I knew it must be either a Triumph or M G He said it was a Prelude " WHAAAT ' ?!! " Nice family car Ron 0-60 in 5 minutes We will never forget our last Army-Navy Game, but I ' m sure Ron would like to lorget one THANG! After the game Ron became slightly inebriated (along with 10,000 other people) and the rest is history He earned the most-complimentary award known as " The Bnck " Over the years, Ron has exibited to all a good quality that I admire and that is doing what ' s right regardless of what people think I wish Ihe best of luck to him and his brother Don (who won the " Ron SeIvy Look-alike Contest " ). P.S I hope Ron agrees to tell his lltght Inslr that he will learn aircraft speeds MJB
