 Taken in the sally port in the old West Academic Building on Thayer Road, 16 October, 1962, these are some of the Class of 1963 at West Point. First row, left to right, Tom Wilson, Mike Natvig, Bill Whitehead (KIA in Vietnam), Pat Stevens; second row, Tony Seiwert, Duane Myers, and Mike Bowers. All graduated the next June, and served around the world, including in Vietnam. Two days after this picture was taken, the Cuban missile crisis loomed, and we thought we might graduate early into a war. Photo courtesy USMA, 1962. |
