CURTIN Alexandria, Virginia Four years is a long time in a fort or a ship. Bob, or Harriman as he soon became known, did not find it one of the most agreeable places to be in. We believe there were only two reasons that made him continue at the Maritime College. He wanted a Third Mates Ticket, and this was the only place he could get it. Bob is one of the comparatively few men who actually want to ship out. One year 35 a skipper and 1,11 be satisfied, is what he says. The only other thing that made Maritime life bearable was Harrimanas great interest in sailing. The sailing team offered an escape. Bob could always be found either in rack or at the tiller of some sailboat. The team made many off campus trips, most of them starting on the Friday before a watch weekend. The memories of the D.C. F rostbite, the Qhio State invitational, and the many trips to Navy will last a long time. As the skipper of one of the Shield sloops, he, along with the rest of the crews, soon got into the swing of Long Island Sound Social sailing. On the water most of his time was spent in heated competi- tion with his arch rival, Bob Duck. Someday Harriman would like to skipper his own yacht in the famed Bermuda Race.

KENNETH J. COLEMAN Terryville, New jersey .QKCDSOH left his high school neighborhood of Asbury Park to follow the Coleman blood lin-e, and Brother Bill's footsteps at Mari- time' Buys footsteps were well marked, and Ken seemed to Ht ri ht in them. He seemed to have a knack to match everyone of Biks marks of distinction or indistinction, including an unprecedented family record of a single 75 demerit shot. CBill could only manage to muster up a single 50, and a single 25 shot at one stretch l Tie Brothers Twow will leave a lasting impression with Fort Schuyler for many years. During the classtime semester, linen supplemented his studying by participattmgwin intramural activities and student organizations gachhals IT? fact he wasilone of .the last testimonial witnesses iri t e aritime . earings on t e activities of c'2H. One can be 5 that the harsh words, '4Close the door, and sit down! and illii ominous gesture ot the peeling OHV of metal-rimmed glasses will bg a cause for cold chills in Kenis thoughts for years to come. During the training cruises, Ken proved himself a worthy trav- eler. He traveled all ovftixrhthe ship on ExtrauDuty, and he was also quite 'a mover import. e note that iread, Hello, Ken, Why dorm you ring me up. seems to leave a list of many broken hearts on the European Continent. The '63 Cruise in VVateh Seetlon TWO seemed to round out perfectly three summers of bedlam. For four years, where good times and high spirits were involved, lien could always be found adding his own special tough and c arm. lndoctrination OHicer, Class Secretary, Rowing Team, Band Basketball Team: Manager, Cross Country Team: Manager, Intramurjals French Club, Spanish Club, l.R.C. 7 Lf- ,. . 1 warg? 6 ,.

CONNOR Carle Place, New York lt took three long years, hard years, but Vic finally made it to the ranks of the First Class. As graduate of Carle Place High School on Long Island, Vic had aspirations of becoming a Third Mate in America's Merchant Service. But since then he has changed his mind and decided that Meteorology was the thing for the future. Vicis scholastic existence at the Fort has been interrupted only by his playing basketball and his travels to Europe. Here is where 4'V.J.', usually serious and studious, becomes Vic, the happy-go- lucky guy we will all remember. He will always remember the cross- country jaunt he made with his running partner in Rotterdam and the 'lsocialw on the sightseeing boat with his restricted roommate. And he will never forget his record breaking 50 letters per cruise from his 'glong time friend, M8L1I'CCH. Of course it's impossible to recall every adventurous episode in V..lfs career at the college, but we're sure that this yearbook will bring back some of them. And there is no small doubt in our minds D . p that Vic will be a success m all his endeavors. Deans List, J.V. Basketball. French Club, Newman Club. Intramurals. 109

WALTER F. DABBERDT St. james, New York Walt, .affectionately know to his classmates as t'Dabs, came to the Maritime College from Valley Stream South High School. He joined the class of '64 in September, 1960. Having no enemies, Walt was looked up to with both respect and reverence, not only by the underclassmen, but also by his own class. During the latter part of his third class year, Dabs decided that a life at sea wasn't exactly his calling, so he then became a meteoro- logist. He was an ardent man with the books, as can be seen by his fine scholastic record, but always had time to help a friend in need. The school recognized his scholastic ability by making him a Cadet Training Officer on the ,63 cruise, and we are sure the Third Class wonlt forget his quizzes given every instruction day. Not only will the Third Class remember him, but we'll never forget Walt, and we are sure Walt will never forget us.

Being a scheming soul, Dave decided to combine profit :filth blue water and what better way than in the Merchant Ma- ne. h The Maritime College was not the paragon of social activity that he had unagined, but an academic load and belligerent firsties made 1mlOrget these shortcomings.
