Jerry Gotlieb, Class Agent, wrote: “Classmates, fourteen shipmates from the Class of 1961, and George Sullivan from the Class of 1962, showed up at the Muddy Rudder Restaurant in Yarmouth at 1300 Hours on the 28th of July, 2018, some 57 years after graduation. Our shipmates were accompanied by our wives and Earleen Williams, widow of Dave Williams. We had a head count of about 30 people. We spent the first hour or so reintroducing ourselves, telling sea stories, and had lunch. The next hour we honored our classmates with the reading of each name and then Eight Bells to signify their passing over the bar. Jeff Wright, MMA Alumni Relations Director, then provided an update on the academy. We had a group picture taken.”
