Class of '58!

I began in the post below to tell about Navy football games. Jeff and I have gotten season tickets each year and are privileged to sit at the very top of the A in NAVY which is printed on the seats. When you drive by the stadium you see the large than life letters. This is a nice way of saying we are in the cheaper seats! The best part of where we sit is who we sit with! Surrounding us are alumni of the class of 1958. Yes, the classmates of John McCain! They seem much older than he does for some reason and are quite entertaining! You'll see the gentleman with his bullhorn who leads the cheers. They pass out printed sheets with the cheers to all of us who sit there. Bill sits next to Jan and tells some great stories. The week that the Stockdale statue was dedicated he told about times when he interacted the with the famous admiral. For those of you who don't know, Admiral Stockdale was the longest held Vietnam POW. We've also become good friends with the parents of other mids, retired Marine and his wife, and a present day Commander and his family. He teaches at USNA. We get to watch the mids cheer from across the stadium!
