Did You Know That . . . . . .?

Can you believe your eyes?

Two Buckeroos

My longtime friend, Fritz [since 1943] and I were off to the USNA in July of 1954. Can anyone recognize the type and model of the plane? We amazingly received appointments to the U.S. Naval Academy at the same time . . . even getting telegrams on the same day. He was attending the University of Virginia, while I attended Long Island Ag. & Tech. Institute. Although our appointments came from different sources, we were roommates during our four-year stints. After graduation, he went Marine Corps. and I went Navy Line. Fritz was also the Best Man at my wedding to BBB [Beautiful Bride Betty] in June '58.

We celebrated our 50th this past August, at the Main Beach in our hometown. Fritz and his wife Pam and girlfriend Louise [not his girlfriend] were there to celebrate with us. As you can see by the photo . . . Fritz is very old . . . and I am still very young. Although, he is the one with a woman under each arm!
