The Billion Soul Strife A storm of tragedy has struck a simple land Where the theme of Freedom has the upper hand. Lives of the innocent were split in two As the tormenting winds of evil blew. Screams of fear and horror shattered a nation While others watched helplessly upon the devastation. Tears of sorrow and grief go to those in mourning For a powerful pain has come without warning. Though the terror came from the blue, clear sky And the enemy stays in shadows to hide We will stand united through the smoke and fire And watch out prayers be lifted higher. Unified as one we will make a solid stand Backed by the powerful God Almightyâs Hand. Though the Billion Soul Strife begins, we are unbroken to this day Through blood and tears, we echo these words, âGod Bless the U.S.A.â M N Jeremiah Gruidl, 2002 September 13, 2001 Admiral Stewart presents the Academy Achievement Ribbon for Meritorious Sen-ice.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 17, 2002 I am pleased to congratulate the United States Merchant Marine Academy's Class of 2002. America today faces a great challenge to protect our homeland from those who would do us harm. You are graduating from an institution with a long tradition of alumni who not only engage in commerce at sea, but who also willingly become protectors when our Nation is in peril. As Kings Point graduates, you can take considerable pride in your determination and efforts in your academic careers. You also can look forward to providing valuable service to America's economy through your work in the maritime and transportation industries. And our Nation is grateful that you stand ready to serve with our Armed Forces, the finest in the world, both Active and Reserve. Best wishes for continued success. THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 May 30, 2002 - of To the Class of 2002 It is a pleasure to congratulate each of you on your graduation from the United States Merchant Marine Academy. I am very proud of all of you, and you should be proud of yourselves. Your graduation represents a personal milestone. It carries with it an obligation of leadership, to yourself, to your community, and to your Nation. My confidence that you will meet these obligations is supported by what you have already accomplished. One extraordinary accomplishment during your time at Kings Point was the response to the emergency in New York Harbor following the September 11 terrorist attack. USMMA midshipmen moved immediately toward the World Trade Center, as did many others in the maritime community. Over the course of eight days, USMMA assets transported more than 1,500 firefighters, emergency medical technicians, police officers, and other rescue personnel. Midshipmen and members of the faculty and staff also moved several tons of food, water, rescue supplies and other material across the harbor to the staging area at North Cove. You learned first hand about the proud tradition of the U.S. Merchant Marine and the value of your training at the Academy. Each of you have demonstrated the skills, the motivation, and the unwavering dedication we need, and I look forward to each of you becoming future maritime industry leaders. I challenge you today to continue using your knowledge on behalf of your community and on behalf of your Nation. No maritime school in the world enjoys a finer reputation for excellence than Kings Point. Your job is to continue that tradition and add to its luster. As your futures unfold, I challenge you to continue to live the motto of this fine institution â âdeeds not words.â Again, congratulations and I bid you fair winds and following seas. I 18 19 US. Department of Transportation Administrator 400 Seventh Street. S.W. Washington. D C. 20590 Maritime Administration MESSAGE TO THE UNITED STATES MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY CLASS OF 2002 As an alumnus of the Academy, it is with great pleasure that I congratulate you, the graduating class of 2002. Your time at Kings Point has prepared you to face the challenges and opportunities that you will encounter as your careers progress. In these chosen careers, you will be expected to execute diverse tasks with every ounce of your energy and all of the competence, caring, and strength that you possess. America will need maritime leaders to confront unending challenges at sea, on inland waterways and in port terminals as traffic increases dramatically. With the events of September 11, the maritime industry is playing a critical role in homeland security. As a graduate, you will gain first-hand experience in this new environment, thus enabling you to enter this professional workforce with confidence and self-reliance. With the training you received at Kings Point, I am confident that you will succeed. I salute youâthe future leaders of the American maritime industry. Captain William G. Schubert Maritime Administrator SUPERINTENDENT UNITED STATES MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY KINGS POINT. NEW YORK 1 1 024- 1 699 To the Class of 2002: Congratulations!

GARDNER, USMS The editors and staff are pleased to dedi- cate 2002 Midships to CDR Raymond F. Gardner, USMS of the Department of Engi- neering. CDR Gardner, a 1979 Kings Point graduate, came to the Academy four and a half years ago. He brought with him a love of engineering, the Academy, and teaching. He enthusiasti- cally helps the midshipmen with their engineer- ing studies. After graduating from Kings Point, CDR Gardner sailed for nearly six years with Dis- trict 2 MEBA AMO. He earned his First Assis- tant Engineer's license during this time. He subsequently came ashore and worked as a mechanical engineer, designing systems for the U.S. Navy. Later, he went to work as a consulting engi- neer, designing and retrofitting central power, heating and chiller plants. All the time, his Kings Point education was essential to his success. After a stint teaching at SUNY Maritime, CDR Garnder returned to his alma mater. In 1992, he passed the New York State licensed professional engineer exam. In 1995, he earned a master's degree in mechanical engi- neering from Polytechnic University in Brook- lyn. With three associates, he started a con- sulting engineering firm on Long Island. CDR Gardner fondly remembers his days as a midshipman at the Academy. It was at Kings Point that he met his wife of 22 years at a school mixer. Marianne is a dental hygienist. Together they have four children: James, Elizabeth, Emily and Sarah. âIt is an honor and a privilege to teach at Kings Point, says CDR Gardner. He believes that midshipmen are hard-working, dedicated individuals who have chosen a more strenuous romance life than the typical college student.

August 17, 2001 the class of 2002 celebrated 300 nights on the very special occasion of Ring Dance. Receiving the ring symbolizes that the first classman becomes part of the elite fraternal order of Kings Point. With the class crest worn closest to his heart, a Kings Pointer keeps his class close to him. Upon Graduation, the ring is turned and the academy crest is worn closest to his heart. This symbolizes keeping the academy close as he is now not just a member of a class, but an alum of KP. Matt Brekke adds a hearty Here-Here to a toast at ring Dance.

The two weeks of Indoc were meant to be physically, mentally and emotionally challenging as plebes learned the rigors of the Academyâs daily routine, proper military bearing and the correct way to do a push-up. Though the memory of Indoc is different to each individual, the two weeks is something that will be looked back upon for years to come. rill Instructor Sam Albrecht gets down and dirty with the Plebe Candidates.

Plebe Candidates take their aggression out in a battle of tug-of-war The No. 1 Ensign is raised for a special colors ceremony on Acceptance Day Acceptance Day The long awaited Acceptance Day finally arrived for plebe candidates on September 8, 2001. This day marked the beginning of midshipmen life for the plebe class, as they stood on Tomb Field and took their oath into the Naval Reserve. With this oath, the plebe candidates become plebes and were allowed to wear the Eagle Insignia of the Merchant Marine Naval Reserve as well as class insignia. With this oath came new privileges including the ability to talk in Delano during meals, the end of sitting six inches and staring at 12 OâClock while eating. Additionally this oath brought greater responsibility as plebes fell under the same demerit system as the upperclassmen of the Academy. The remainder of the day consisted of a football game and the first liberty since the beginning of Indoctrination nearly two months earlier. The class picture was also taken, and will stand as a remembrance of the day, and as a symbol of the people who began the long road to graduation. Members of the Drill Team march past the stands during the Acceptance Day Parade. Candidates form up on the oval in front of Wiley Hall before Acceptance Day ceremonies. 41 Drummers await their cue from the Drum Major to begin playing. With Acceptance Day Weekend came the annual Beat Retreat. Captain Kenneth Force, USMS, had the overwhelming job of transforming the plebe candidates into musicians who could perform up to the standards of the Regimen- tal Band. The Beat Retreat was the first real performance of the Regimental Band forthe year, and as always, the show provoked a sense of pride forthe midshipmen and the family, friends and alumni who came from all over the country to watch. The ceremony known as âBeating the Retreatâ began in 17th Century Europe as drummers were sent through the streets playing âbeatingsâ to warn troops to return to their camps forthe night. This practice faded with time, but the ceremony lived on the the form of ceremonial âBeat Retreatsâ as military bands were used to lower the colors for the evening. The theme of this yearâs event was Fifty Years of the Fifties, as the females wore Poodle Skirts and the male Midshipmen slicked back their hair and rolled up their pant legs. The Regimental Band provided the music in between skits and members of the plebe class presented the flags of the fifty states, along with fifty National Ensigns. Additionally, several midshipmen were involved in designing the sets, costumes and other backstage work. 42 1 950s Swing dancers await the beginning of their performance. The skit played a large role in the Beat Retreat. Flags from all fifty States and fifty National Ensigns are displayed proudly by plebes as they enter O'Hara Hall.

The formal dance brought together midshipmen from all classes, as well as guests from outside the academy to enjoy music, dance and have a good time. Even Santa Claus and his elves made an appearance and were seen all over the dance floor throughout the night The Second Class were responsible for organizing the event and with the help of the plebe class, they transformed the dining hall into a winter wonderland, complete with a ânautical themeâ holiday fountain. The plebe class setup and tore down the event and also provided assistance serving punch and cookies. For the class of 2005, the dance marked their first formal event at the academy. The male midshipmen wore Service Dress Blues with bow ties and the female midshipmen wore gowns and dresses. Music was provided by a DJ who spun the hits as midshipmen danced into the night. It was truly a night to remember. Josh Pell, Martin Malenshek and Luke Wisniewski pose with their dates. 45 NIC rÂą TS PARTIES Below: Jeff Marquez signals he is ready for launch.

Delano Hall all decked out for the special occasion. 48 s The Color Guard standing tall at the Battle Standard Dinner The concept of an annual Battle Standard Dinner was created in 1987. Following the military tradition of âdining in,â the dinner was to be a formal night for the members of the first class. A renowned guest of honor would be invited to add a special note to the evening. The Battle Standard Dinner has provided an opportunity for the graduating class to gather as one. They heard words of advice and wisdom from a variety of speakers. The Battle Standard Dinner in March 2002 featured another remarkable speaker. The Honorable General James L. Jones, Commandant of the Marine Corps, spoke to the class of 2002. Beyond an inspirational evening, the Battle Standard Dinner provided a link with Kings Point history as all attending recalled the sacrifice of the 142 cadet- midshipmen, a memory that is the foundation of much of the Academyâs traditions. 49 Finally after nine months of being plebes, the class of 2005 was recognized on April 8, 2002. Recognition symbolizes that the upperclassmen have recognized them to be a part of the regiment. It is no longer required to square corners, run outside, march in sections or sound off to upperclassmen. With recognition comes liberty every weekend, along with some other privileges. Midshipmen David Coburn and Steve Madgwick played a major role in the development of this class, along with the entire class of 2002. Recognition run consisted of a mud pit, ringing the memorial bell, tug of war, log races, jumping in the sound and much more. The event is one of the biggest highlights of the plebe year.

Midshipmen worked diligently through four days of exams. 52 Exams When April comes to Kings Point, the Academy takes on a new look as the leaves begin to reappear, the grass becomes a little greener and the seniors prepare and sit for license exams. Members of the class of 2002 streamed into OâHara Hall on May 28 to begin four days of sweat and pressure after much preparation and memorization. Even more pressure was on the senior class this year as they were the first to sit for the new U.S. Coast Guard Exams. The 3rd Mate and 3rd Assistant Engineer Licenses were discontinued as of last year, and now each passing senior will be issued a restricted 2nd Mate or 2nd Assistant Engineerâs License. By Friday afternoon the bell in front of Wiley Hall rang loudly as seniors gathered to celebrate their successful completion of the exams. The tradition of throwing coins in Amphitrite Pool before license exams continues. 53 June Weekend June Graduation Weekend marked the final days at the Academy for the graduating Class of 2002. The weekend was full of festivities, including the Awards Convocation, Change of Command Ceremony, Parents Barbeque, obligatory dip in Eldridge Pool and the last formal of the year, June Ball.

V ° â˘; .⢠⢠V: - y-y5y ⢠;ââ˘-. r . .fr- ⢠. :. v - The Kings Point Waterfront consists of a large and distinguished band of Midshipmen, who have divided their individual experiences and strengths into several areas. The Waterfront Personnel comprise the Crew, Intercollegiate Dinghy Sailing, Offshore Sailing, Windsurfing, and Power Squadron teams, as well as the Training Vessel Kings Pointer, Maintenance and Repair crews, coaches and staff. Individuals involved with the Waterfront continue to exemplify the core values of our great institution, and are tasked with new challenges each day. Weekly routines consisted of arduous practices and training exercises, frequent repair sessions, and the ever-popular Thursday barbecues. To some, our beautiful Waterfront not only served as a safe haven to escape from the Regiment and enjoy the waters of Long Island â Sound, but also as a place to do some homework. Good leadership, undying service, and immense skill are just some of the qualities that NEL v V are embodied in this staff. In the hectic moments immediately following the disastrous actions of September 11,2001, US Merchant Marine Academy Midshipmen in cooperation with Waterfront Personnel, the US Coast Guard, and FDNY stepped up to give any and all help that was necessary to restore order and assist the injured. Academy vessels and crews actively participated in Operation âGuarding Liberty from September 11 th through September 19th by ferrying FDNY and medical personnel between the mainland and downtown Manhattan. Some Academy participants worked at Ground Zero and contributed to local efforts. In appreciation for all actions performed by the US Merchant Marine Academy, the Department of Transportation authorized the issue of the DOT Outstanding Unit Award to Midshipmen and Staff who assisted during those troublesome times.

FANFARE TRUMPETS 134 The Broading Kings Point Club Started in 1996 as a monthly meeting group for midshipmen from minority groups. These meetings usually took place in Land Hall, and were a way for these midshipmen to come together and discuss events both on campus and back in thier respective communities. In the past 5 years the group has grown into a chartered association with 23 members and two faculty staff advisors. The mission of the club has also grown to include helping with minority recruiting, community service, and taking a part in cultural events. While the group is no longer limited to minority students, it still remains a great way for midshipmen to celebrate their diversity while being involved with the Academy.

There; my blessing with thee! And these few precepts in they memory See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportioned thought his act Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatchâd, unfledged comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bearât that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each manâs censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressâd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine ownself be ture, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!

New York Pilots Vice President Howard Hill wouldn't trade his job with anyone, even after nearly forty years as a pilot. There's a lot of people that have good jobs, but I've never met anyone that had, as far as I'm concerned, a better job than me. I like the job because it's interesting, Hike the fact that it's a challenge. It's that challenge that keeps the pilots out there twenty four hours a day, waiting for the next ship needing assistance. It's what sends them out of their warm, dry houses to go on station in the worst of storms, when ships need their help the most. And it's what they cherish as an institution. It's the romance of it, it's the liking of it. If you're comfortable with it, it's a rewarding thing. Being a pilot and being part of an association, is a great feeling.

I guess this is it. Iâm done with it? Can it be? I low so? I stayed here three days following graudation to finish the senior section, some of the sports, the division pages and whatever else was laying around. Oh! The opening section too. Being editor of the book has been an experience for me. Iâve enjoyed parts of it, and hated parts of it, as anything in life, I suppose. The disappointment of so many seniors not submitting information, or not submitting pictures, or not even having their pictures taken: some of you were bound and determined to slip from KP unrecorded. Well, Iâve done my best to record everyone. Even the people I was determined to leave out. This is my fifth year working on Midships. I guess that I had a plan for the book at the yearâs beginning. Whether or not it came together quite as 1 had imagined is totally another matter. Initially I had pictured a black linen cover with a small metallay in the lower right hand corner, nothing larger than your thumb. It was to be a book that piques your curiousity, not one that jumps off the shelf at you. Well, we mediated about the cover and came up with a design for the metallay, but I couldnât convince anyone to have it as I envisioned. So j we opted for what you now have in your hands, with a vinyl- type cover and a texture applied to it. Itâs much easier to keep clean. The spine design comes from the yearbooks published in the 1940s. Whatâs old is new again! Since this is my page, Iâll extend my final messages here. For the book, I need to thank Martin Skrocki, our advisor. In retrospect I feel somewhat that the book should be dedicated to him, as he dedicates himself to it. Mr. Skrocki puts in countless hours proofing the book, meeting with staff and helping with the submission of the completed pages, not to mention the sections of the book that he himself does . Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. Skrocki, for your support, and your help, not only on the book but also here at Kings Point. Thanks to Mark Mandrakos, our Herff Jones representative who gives us advice on the book, and teaches our staff even- year the ins and outs of yearbook publishing. Special thanks to CAPT Brown, Prof. Colef, Prof. Franklin, CDR Gardner, Prof. Hennings, |oe Kass, Prof. Perez and Prof. Poliseno. You make being a student at Kings Point worthwile, and fun. Iâve enjoyed my classes with each of you gready. CAPT Athens, LCDR Gagnon, LCDR Moore, CDR Mund and CDR Wallischeck, thanks for the lessons in life along the way. Youâve made being a midshipmen at Kings Point somedmes difficult, but enjoyable. My Dad, thanks and I love you. What else is there to say. Mom, hereâs to your perfect son! G, youâre great! Sadie, though a pain at dmes, I love you and always will. â Eben Samuelson â02 Eben has said so much that thereâs not much left for me to say â or room to say it! I hope that the Class of 2002 and the rest of the Regiment likes 2002 Midships. We tried our best. Thanks to the people that Eben has already thanked, to the members of the yearbook staff who came through (you know who you are), and to the many faculty and staff at the the Academy who assisted me throughout my four years.
