1 Charles R. Morgan Rick Charleston. West Virginia Oceanography Surface Warfare Dick came to ihe Academy direct from the ' • coal mines of West Virginia. Well actually Rick IS from Charleston. WVA and a graduate of Stonehead. er I mean Stonewall Jackson High School. But he ain ' l no holler boy and proud of il Rick doesn ' t remember much about Plebe Summer since he was asleep the full duration Plebe year was quite different as we took it upon ourselves to break m our roommate, the future bri- gade commander Rtck has fond memories of pea- nut butter on nametages. rearranging perfect blotters, and Stuart sandwiches. The best memory Rick has of Plebe year was the look on Slu baby ' s (ace when Nature called Rick one morning Probably the most forgettable experience was Ihe day Ihe fifth wing lequilla bar was discovered. The past years have been unique as Rick ' s room- mate-Rudy ' s, Plebe Detail, and pulling you out of the ladies ' room at Lazlo ' s are only a few of the good memories. Good luck in the future, Black Shoe Morgan. TPW Terrance J. Mulich. Jr. TJ Fairfield, California Physical Science U.S. Marine Corps r J came to us from sunny California as a care- free, short tempered individual. His addition to the company (second class year it became a multi- plication) has been noticed by all. His (laming red hair, short (use and the occasional steam coming out of his ears could often be seen at formation when a bad day had passed his way I feel sorry for TJ ' s men when he is a grunt platoon commander. TJ loves to run al odd hours for miles and miles at a rapid pace Just what the Marine Corps ordered, TJ Ihe flaming hot head running machine When TJ isn ' t running he can usually be found at the officers club or at Rudy ' s insulting strange women When that special girl comes along she will come second on his priority list after his CRX. TJ can often t e seen after school just sitting in his car admiring it. Like his dad. TJ has his mind geared toward a military career. Sometime during it he will become Dr T J. f ulich professor of engineering. After re- tirement he will head back to sunny California with Ihe wild women and big waves. I ' ll see you there. Later S Stuart B. Munsch JM Cakes. North Dakota Electrical Engineering Nuclear Power - Submarines How does a guy write about someone who who does everything so welP Rhodes Schol- ar Brigade Commander Nalional Champion in Pis- tol All-Amencan Team Captam President of 2 c Mess Night Vice President of the class. Member of the Antiphonal Choir. Actually folks the answer is simple. Its easy to write about Siu because he is just like everyone else deep down. Stuart strolled mlo the institute that fateful day without claiming any desire but to gra- dule We should have known this proclaimation to be Ihe first Munsch understatement. A little shy as a plebe. he has opened up over time Although, he still keeps a bit of it lucked away to this day Youngster year, we discovered on his desk an index card on which was drawn seven symbols A cross, the outlines of N.D and ihe British Isles, six vertical lines, five circles arranged something like the Olympic symbol, four stars, and someone ' s ini- tials. Well . . faith remained foremost m his life and he is forever tied to his roots. Slu made it to En- gland twice - once on an exchange cruise and twice for Oxford He served as our BC second set The Olympics Not yet but I ' ll be looking for him in the future Of the stars and the initials ■ I ' ll leave that for the reader to figure out One might think that with all he has done he would become caught up in himself. The opposite has happened While remaining confident, Slu has developed a sense of awareness that is rare A real people person, Stuart always has the time to listen. quick to solicit the opinions of others, he consideres those opinions as seriously as his own Modesty and humility are his trademarks. Stu ' s answer ' alright ' lo the question How ya doin ' can mean everything from acmg a lest to setting a na- tional record He ' s a best friend to many And, when all is said and done. Stuart will be Stuart! Your friend. Steve. Henry L. Murphy Hank Huntington. New York Physical Science Naval Aviation Hank came to the Naval Academy after an arduous year at prep school where he spent much of his time building up his reputation When Hank finally got to the academy he found plebe summer to be more than he bargained for While an excellent runner, he jusi couldn ' t learn lo march. Wild Bill helped to correct Ihe situation Academi- cally Hank remains in the top 95 % of our class and should graduate as a full-fledged scientist To this day he continually changes roommates in his search for the perfect one None of us has yet proved 10 be Ihe savior (not even I) After breezing through his first two years at the academy Murf ran into his first bit of trouble as a second class when he decided to take some late mghi liberty and go on a road trip to Hood II was an adventurous trip that ended with a inp to the Deputy and a black N . After he recovered from this he found himself taking more and more challenging inps. Who could forget (or even remember) that trip to Scranton (God ' s country), or the infamous Whitewater canoe trip. Second class spring break became the ultimate challenge Hank kept us all laughing all the lime we were there. Who else could be forced to swim till I die! That very same night Murf took his unfortu- nate roomriale swimming. Senior year came and Hank was always looking for more adventures, earning him the nickname fur, fish and game . As service selection approaches we know Hank has a pilot billet waiting for him. Good luck Hank in your future Thanks tor all Ihe good times. Take care. RPD

I ' ll never know Clay is al- ways very considerate after dnnkmg heavily He always pukes in the toilet or sink or someplace easy to clean, unlike some people Isn ' t that right, Tim? I seem to remember a certain weekend in Huntsville. Alabama, when the 3 of us were attacked by a bunch of 3-lool martinis from Casa Gallardo Why nol? Speaking of H-viHe. Clay thought he had lound the love ol his lile at UAH Unfortunately, alter fol- lowing us down to New Orleans, coming up lor the Ring Dance anda visit over the summer, she decid- ed that the feeling wasn ' t mutual Clay was crushed, but soon his spirits were buoyed by a Korean cutie I ' om Hood They ' ve been quite insep- arable this year with Clay tormenting his 1966 Mus- tang (and his body) by driving to Frederick almost every weekend Lest you think thai Clay ' s only in- terests in tile are booze and women, I leel obligated to inform the world that Ihis Rhodes Scholar appli- cant IS also starting on his master ' s degree at Georgetown while still carrying a heavy load at USNA (hey, bowling ' s not easy, you know!) Clay alsospent (misspent?) 4 years in the Glee Club, the Barbershop Quartet, and the Prot Chapel Choir with 3 appearances in Glee Club musicals To my best friend, I can only say.

After starting second class year with a month of restriction with his two roommates, Chet was ready for the Romper Zone, and things were never quite the same Frequent parties and small tabs at Mum ' s kept the good times rolling Wednesday nights were useless thanks to oyster happy hours We ' ll never lorget his escapades in Stone Harbor, and neither will the locals Chet mellowed out a bit first class summer, but it was his Choice This led to high gas bills academic year with 540 mile treks in his 2002 to the Iron City for a little TLC Other fond memories of senior year Dewey Beach and Notre Dame road trips and an awesome Army weekend The C of C will always remember the master daw- dler with the permacold and grades that were just plain too high Good luck to you m your assuredly bright future See you m ' 05! 422 Eleventh Company Robert G. Lunifeid Tunes Penn Hills, Pennsylvania Mechanical Engineering Nuclear Power - Submarines Bob rolled in to Annapolis from Western Pennsylvania with his mind set on graduat- ing with honors . he |ust might have had he not encountered such obstacles as The Rocket, Wild Bill, and myself Academics were not a problem with Bob, but he worked hard at it and was highly successful throughout the lour years A certain Bill back in the hall tried to mess up Bob ' s entire Plebe year, but by the time second semester rolled around he was well on his way to an eventful tour at the Academy Not a weekend stu- dier, a dull moment lor Bob was hard to come by on tour with the Glee Club, forgetting how to walk one night in Northern Wisconsin, visits to Hood and College Park, celebrating his roomie ' s pending res- ignation, dealing with Clay (his poor alarm clock!), Maggott, Troll, Chet, and the rest, the Yes concert. O C , he had no trouble with the ladies, either ' He somehow stayed away from trouble Tunes set high standards for himself right away — a true connoisseur of quality stereo, fine music, and smooth imported beers Bob was a shoo-m for Nuke School, without a doubt the elite service is getting an elite man lor the job You ' ve got it made, pal outstanding ability and a super guy Give ' em hell ' SFC P S Thanks a ton, Bob, I couldn ' t have done it without you. Stephen E. Mooradian Moonshot Williamsville. New York Aerospace Engineering Naval Aviation Excuse me Sssteve, but dtd you finish the ssystems lab yet? I rewired the whole analog computer and il ' ss all sscrewed up I ' m ssorry Ssteve What would you do ' ' Oh no ' Not the Ex- police! What are you going to do thiss time ' ' The coathook ' ' The aluminum can recepticle? Break- dancing ' ' More sstones about the dangers of carri- er aviation ' ' Am 1 a beer mug again ' ' Gosh guys, the floors of Rickover are really dirty! Without this kind of comic relief — all the time — the years at this )Oint would have been more like decades Not to forget the Sharkey ' s Machine of HoHo. who couldn ' t lall asleep tor two hours because, as he reported to the jimmy legs, Two intruders, big guys m civies, came into my room and woke us up! Mordy was also a social don Juan One example of his prowess was when Mary Pat came to MN(0) one weekend to surprise Steve, saw him and spread her arms wide to give him a big hug. Mordy ' s reaction? Oh, I was expecting somebody else Then there was the hot Boy George girl who had bleached her hair blonde but forgot about her eyebrows Mordy was known to her as a vil- lain This isn ' t a novel so I will have to move on. Sieve spent much of his time studying or sleeping — hard to believe! Mordy often could be found in search of the gouge A famous Mordy saying — If It takes two hours to get the gouge or one hour to study, I ' ll get the gouge And I suppose there was always at least one thing that lingered in the back ol his mind, although he didn ' t talk about it much. Should I say aviation, or F-14 ' s. or just say that Mordy had more pilot sea stories than most pilots But seriously. Steve will cruise through Pen- sacola because the Big Man is on his side and he will either be the only peacetime ace m history or be assigned as HoHo ' s wing and have to lace the Rus- sians, alone TKS

Maurice Perdomo Mo Riverside. California Oceanography U.S. Marine Corps Mo came from Ihe other part of Californip with hopes o) being a member of the U S Marine Corps Drum and Bugle Corps upon commission- nmg Well, the teachings ot Compy. Smitty, and Bad Willie during Plebe Summer brought to him the revelation that line members of the Academy don ' t and can ' t do such things Thus, he resigned from Ihe U S Naval Academy Drum and Bugle Corps, but. kept up his musical talents in the Pep Band, plus getting out of every Saturday march-over An attribute is his speechlessness Mo is so quiet that It wasn ' t until youngster year we found out that he really does talk He was barely able to use his speech on one Saturday night m Dahlgren due to his inebriated state Somehow he was able to hold a conversation with a young woman named Susan and since then has held a very steady courtship He must have spoken at least one more time to Susan to utter the words. Will you marry me ' ' Their date was 25 May 85 Another fine quality of Mo ' s is his faith in his mother He used his second class loan to acquire an automobile However, he let his lower California mom purchase a red (yuch). automatic (ha ha). CRX Well, one out of three he can live with, Mo will make a line addition to the Corps, So long. B James N. Olmsted Nick Lyme.

KT . • [ H i 1 Robert C Perry Rob Alexandria. Vriginia General Engineering Naval Aviation A Southern boy from Alexandria Va Rob ongi- ' nally came to USNA intent on playing base- ball, but found this pretty hard to do from the helm of an lOR yacht He was a varsity sailor until (irst class year when he found it was quite impractical to skipper both a yacht and a company during pa- rades Regaining his land legs he marched the com- pany to an amazing 9th place overall, a notable mark for the historically cellar (not stellar) dwelling marching 11 Rob started his schooling as an Ocean Engineer, but soon look the common sense (General) route, due mainly to his love for those ever precious week- ends The resulting high marks would allow him lo follow his father ' s and brother ' s footsteps under the sea, however Rob decided that airplanes and fresh air were much more desireable than a sickly pallor. and headed to P-cola and the front seat of an F- 14 The noticeable sag in his lower lip is evidence of Rob ' s favorite hobby, dipping With Rob ' s noxious drool and Brett ' s general overall disgust and bacte- ha laden desk drawer their room was in a constant slate of ferment When not off sailing on the Bay Rob was the best Fieldball goalie the Brigade ever saw and the only Southern boy saddled with a Big Apple Girl and a New Jersey refuse heap for a roommate Perhaps as his roommate tor three years I changed his opinion of New Jersey but cer- tainly not of New Jersians Good luck getting up in the morning at Pensacola and good luck to you always FLY NAVY! BJG TPW Stephen L. Powers Stevie Alexandria. Virginia General Engineering Naval Aviation Sievie came to the Academy with only two things in mind, playing hockey and flying jets To Steve, hockey is the toughest and most physical sport around Ot course, it is played only by the coolest guys We all are glad that Steve did get hrs pilot billet For awhile, the renown Bancroft medical gave us a scare But his tamily history ot perfect eyes proved them wrong His wanting lo be a fighter jock was easily seen with his pilot sunglasses, chewing gum, and streamlined car He ' s tough all-nght, even with a 102F fever he still wants the window open in he middle of winter His James Bond type adven- ures probably put Stevie at the top ot the brigade n number of times sneaking out He never com- plained once about Ihe Jimmy Legs just waving him Who ' s gonna know ' ' They won ' t tell He used jll us confidently For a guy who loved beer, it didn ' t lake much for him lo lose count His (avorite Bud but I think he liked another large more an anything else.
