Thank you all for your efforts in developing this history of the USNA Class of 1967. Their efforts were relentless to the point that we received a few responses after the dead line set for the printed book, but are included in these online volumes. The company representatives pleaded, cajoled, prodded and pushed our classmates to submit biographies and current pictures for the project. The following letter from the book editorial staff to the thirty-six company representatives contains the initial request for information that initiated this whole effort.
The online volumes were prepared by Pete Smullen and Tony Wayne and your editor using Microsoft Publisher spending many long hours banging on their computers. You can see his skill in the printed volume that contains the Another Link in the Chain section and the Memorial to our classmates in the Memorial pages. Also my thanks to Pete Smullen for his artistic skills and computer expertise who always found solutions for the tricky problems that kept popping up.
I want to thank Tony Wayne for his dedication in coordinating with the company representatives in their effort to find classmates and collect the questionnaires and photos you see in this volume. Unfortunately, even with that effort they could not complete the printed book before the reunion held in October 2017. It also far exceeded the volume of information anticipated by the publisher, Jostens Incorporated, so their effort to complete the printed book became heroic. The response far exceeded the typical number of biographies submitted by other classes commemorating the 50th Anniversary of their graduation from USNA.

We received more than 800 completed questionnaires plus a number of responses that contained only the summary biography. The response by the members of the Class of 1967 to our requests for information was outstanding. We included the longer summary in these online volumes.
Many classmates, who felt too constricted with a 300 word maximum for the summary that was intended as part of the printed book, also provided a longer version of their summary biography. The men reveal their most humorous memories of life in Mother B, momentous events in their lives and the pride they have for their families who supported our classmates through long deployments and demanding life styles The questionnaires published in these volumes are, for the most part, unedited except for running spell checks. The biographies list the background, struggles, successes and heart aches of 90% of the class. The heights to which these men soared are spectacular as you will see when you read these pages. The questionnaires describe a truly impressive group of young men who joined together on Tecumseh Court in 1963 where each repeated the oath, and accepted a commission as Midshipman, United State Navy. The story of the Great Class of 1967 is told in these volumes. This online volume is intended to supplement the printed book. The summaries from these questionnaires have been inserted into a printed version of the 50 th Anniversary book that will be distributed to the class later in 2017. The completed questionnaires were submitted to Tony Wayne over a two year period from August 2014 until the end of 2016, with a few procrastinators sending their information much later. This was in response to a request for information from the editors of the 50 th Anniversary Book. One volume has been prepared for each battalion.
