Roommate, me, Nancy, Jim Thompson, classroom, Dec 5, 1973

The guy on the left was my roommate for three weeks after I returned from FSP but before we became upperclassmen.  He was a good athlete with a strong arm for playing one-pitch softball.  He could easily hit home plate with a throw from the outfield.  But even looking at all the names in the graduation program, I don't as yet recall his name.  In the group photo before, you cannot even see his name tag.  He was prior-service army, I believe.

Nancy is standing in front of me, and Jim Thompson has his arms folded.  As I said, we were standing around, waiting for the commissioning to begin.

The model plane above were constructed by some of us for extra credit.
