Summer 2026
Classmates Welcome to our Class of 1971 Website!
We have passed another milestone for our Class as 9 June 2026 marked 55 years since we graduated and departed from the banks of the Severn. In recognition, plans for our 55th reunion during the weekend of 8-11 October 2026 are well underway. As we approach the reunion weekend you will see more emails from me and more postings on this website. I encourage you to attend the reunion if you are able. Reunion highlights will include a welcome reception, a golf outing, opportunity for company gatherings, a gala tailgate reception in the N* room prior to and during the game against Tulsa, and a ceremony honoring our fallen classmates. Registration is now open at the following link:
One unique aspect of our Naval Academy heritage is our interest in staying in touch with our company-mates, teammates, wives, widows and special friends within the class. As you know, this includes both graduates and non-graduates. As we grow a little older it is even more important to take the time to see our friends and remember those who have gone before us.
Our Class Officers, Board of Trustees, Company Representatives, and Class Webmaster continue to serve you and ensure that we maintain open and frequent communication for our entire class. We serve and lead in accordance with our Class of ’71 Mission and By-Laws. I am so proud of these classmates who continue to volunteer their time, wisdom, and sound advice on how we should function to support our Class, Alma Mater, and the Brigade of Midshipmen.
The intent of this website is to keep you up to date on our class activities and to inform you of plans for our 55th Reunion that will be held in Annapolis in October 2026.
Stay healthy, stay close, and Duces Virum!
Perry Martini, President
