Latest Letter from Sean
Greetings Class of 1979,
This past Sunday we all remembered our family members and
friends lost in the 9/11 terrorist attacks on our country ten
years ago, including our classmate, Jerry "Fish" DeConto. Carl
Rehling, ( carl.rehling@tx.rr.com),
who was Jerry’s roommate, sent out the following link to a
poignant story about Fish from the
CapeCodOnline.com
web site:
Story Title: Cape native led
'extraordinary' life
http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110911/NEWS/109110343&cid=sitesearch
This story is now posted as well on
www.usna.com
under Alumni News if you have any trouble with this link.
There is also some 79er Flag News to pass along:
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus and
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead announced today
(9/12/2011)
the following assignments:
Rear Adm. Jeffrey A. Lemmons will
be assigned as director, Inter-American Defense College,
Washington, D.C. Lemmons is currently serving as principal
deputy assistant secretary of defense for readiness, Office
of the Secretary of Defense, Washington, D.C.
Rear Adm. Patrick E. McGrath will
be assigned as deputy commander, Third Fleet, San Diego,
Calif. McGrath is currently serving as commander, Naval Air
Force Reserve/vice commander, Naval Air Forces, U.S. Pacific
Fleet, San Diego, Calif.
This Saturday, Navy Football takes its
2-0 record (and 40 point/game average) into South Carolina to
take on the Gamecocks. It is my
understanding the game will be televised on ESPN2 at 1800 EDT.
After a week off, Navy returns home to face Air Force (10/1 at
noon on CBS), the first step toward returning the
Commander-in-Chief Trophy to its proper location. I want to
extend a well done to all classmates who turned out at the
Delaware game on 9/3. I believe this was, by far, our largest
turnout for a non-reunion game ever, and we even were honored to
see many of our local Flag Officers.
So – Beat South Carolina! BEAT AIR
FORCE!
BEAT ARMY!
Omnes Viri
1979,
Sean
Adm Lawrence Recognition
Our Senior year Superintendent, Adm
Lawrence, has been selected for
enshrinement in the Naval Aviation
Hall of Fame in Pensacola next
summer. Through the class of
’51 I have permission from Mrs.
Lawrence to share her notification
letter with our class. Mrs.
Lawrence was touched that the Class
of 79 expressed an interest in
sharing it with our classmates.

Memorial 5k
Run
Every year in Sandwich,
Mass., the community does a memorial 5K run in
honor of our classmate, Gerry Deconto. As most
of you know, Gerry was killed in the Pentagon on
9/11. Perhaps you didn't know that Gerry was a
member of the Sandwich High School Soccer team
that won the state championship in 1975. Funds
raised for the run are used to endow a
scholarship at Sandwich High. A few of our
classmates have completed the run every year
wherever they are on the day of the run (this
year on 9/20). Even if you are not a runner,
this is a worthy cause to contribute to in honor
of one of our own. The site is located at
http://geralddeconto5k.com . If you do sign
up, please let them know that you are a 79'er.
Gerry's family is very proud of his classmates
and they appreciate hearing from them.
Thanks,
Pat McGrath
