Geoff Shumway '64, from the finger lakes region of New York, was the son of a naval aviator. In the Lucky Bag: "…his talents and interests varied from reading and music to sports and a healthy interest in the opposite sex. His principal sports interests were pole vaulting and squash, but during leave he could often be found at a ski lodge or on the beach somewhere. When not occupied with maintaining his position on the Superintendent's List, his musical ability on the guitar oft provided amusement for everyone. Geoff should prove to be a very welcome addition to Naval Aviation."
On June 25, 1972, the A-7E Corsair he was piloting was shot down over North Vietnam. Initially declared mission in action, his remains were repatriated in 1993 and positively identified on June 12, 2002.
He was posthumously promoted to Lieutenant Commander and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Geoff was survived by his wife and a brother.
