Little did he know the hardships he'd have to hurdle in the next four years on his way to fulfilling his dream. Dale found out from the start that scenic Castine was going to be quite different from homey', Manchester. Nonetheless, he unselfishly sacrificed his carefree lovelife in his quest for knowledge and the all- important 3rd Assistant's license. Dale was always noted for his outspoken re- marks concerning Academy policy, chow, and even the world situation. But Gomer always remained calm and col- lected when confronted by the everyday crises that arise in the life of a midship- man. Dale will undoubtedly make a fine engineer and will get along well with those who are fortunate enough to as- sociate with him.
