ANTHONY G. LUCCI, CAPT, USAF

Anthony Lucci from the 1961 Lucky Bag: "Tony came to the Academy from a small mining town in William Penn's home state via a year at Columbian Prep, where he began his football career. He soon donned the blue and gold and performed capably within the green fence. Between football seasons, Tony could usually be found writing to his OAO or hitting the books. His cheerful personality won him wide popularity throughout the Brigade, and we expect him to continue his success as he takes his place among the graduates in carrying on the traditions of the Academy."

Anthony, an Air Force Captain and a qualified navigator, was killed on September 27, 1967 when the C-133 plane he was aboard crashed in Dallas.

He was survived by his wife, Donna, and three sons, Frank, Michael, and Timothy.
