Remember with me a few of the names that were responsible for your bringing up: Caldwell replaced by Davis and then Scheureny Huml replaced by Roeschp Klemstine and Cann replaced by Williams, Stover, Woodhouse and Graham, Haddock replaced by Abbey, and Peck replaced by Hasson. Remember too those support people: Nolasco, Wade, Pfotenhauer, Burkholder, the Shipes, and Parkinson. All of us were dedicated to only one mission: to insure that you were ready in May 1979. In these four short years together, we have been part of some major changes in the conduct of Naval ROTC business. I believe many of them have become tradition and will live a ripe old age while others will be replaced by ua better mousetrapn signalling progress. We did: start Mess Night fremember Admiral Bullinskylp originate the Long Glass annual, win the first uAlmost Anything Goesn contest, see the emergence of the HSalty Cavaliern, cheer and sponsor Coolbaugh's winning effort in the dance marathon, make 1002 blood donation a battalion average, conduct four NJROTC State Championship Drill Meets, create a unit insignia in cloth patch and plaque, survive nBaker's Raidersu, and enjoy together the Chef's table at That Lasagna Place. It was a superb four years for this Naval Officer and I sincerely thank you. As you take your places as young commissioned officers I am as excited about your futures as I am my second career The challenges you face are really no different than those faced b all of h ' ' ' y us w en we were junior officers. We were products of the society from which we came and better prepared to answer our calling than we realized. You too are ready. I I As the man said at the end of his watch when he had properly briefed the oncoming officer of the deck on the status of the ship, its course, speed and material setting -- I stand relieved. Good luck, good health nd smooth sailing-- E F P R A. STARK, JR, Captain, U. s. Navy
