DONALD A. MOLLICONE, 1LT, USAF

Donald Mollicone '60 "came to the Naval Academy from Brooklyn, New York. His typical Brooklyn accent and wit make him a must at a party. Most of his spare time is spent dragging local talent from Crabtown. Don came South with two and a half years experience of college life, making him a well indoctrinated student. As such he managed to squeeze in a little time for card games. As one of the stalwart members of the varsity dinghy sailing team, Don gained valuable experience sailing on the salty Severn. Don plans on a flying career with the U. S. Air Force, along with his brother, a West Point graduate."

Don was lost on December 20, 1963, when the O1-E forward air control plane he was piloting crashed at Soc Trang Airfield, Vietnam.

In addition to his brother, also an Air Force officer, he was survived by his parents.

His classmates in the February 1964 issue of "Shipmate:" "To his family we offer our condolences — to his memory our humble praise."
