Daren Anderson, Sr. Class President, presents Col. Covey with a plaque declar- ing Richard Covey Day.” Col. Richard Covey Colonel Richard O. Covey, a 1964 Choctaw graduate, made his second visit to his alma mater in October. In 1985, he was the grand marshal of the Homecoming festivities. Col. Covey returned this fall to present to the senior class a film of the flight of the shuttle mission, “Discovery,” which he piloted. It was this 1985 mission that Col. Covey took items from Choctaw and Ft. Walton Beach on board with him. The city council declared October 8, 1986, “Richard Covey Day” in Ft. Walton Beach, and presented him with a proclamation prior to the film presentation. 10 Choctaw History After the informative, as well as entertaining film, students were allowed to ask questions.
