LCDR Robert Vessely '72 was lost in a mid-air collision on August 31, 1983. He "always excelled, whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, or at a party." As a midshipman, he was active in the scuba and skydiving clubs; as an officer, he received the distinguished student award at the Naval Test Pilot School.
He was survived by his wife, daughter, and unborn son.
To Honor!
