Letter From Bill Hoover

Dear Classmates, I hope all find you well. As you know, George Zeberlein, our longtime class president, passed away recently. We all owe George a debt of gratitude for his long and productive service to the class. There are no class procedures or guidelines as to how to select a new president. I have been reluctant to assume the position but in the long tradition of the military, when the leader goes down, the next in line is expected to step up. After talking to several classmates, I have decided to do just that and assume the title of President, Class of 1954. If anyone objects or would like to be considered, please let me or the Alumni Association (wendy.owen@usna.com) know that you may be interested. Thank you, Bill Hoover Exec. Vice President '54
