Welcome

Thank You for a Memorable 60th Reunion

On 27 June 1962, a select group of young men stood in Tecumseh Court and took our first Oath of Office. From 1–4 October 2026, Classmates, spouses and friends returned to the “Bay Where Severn Joins the Tide” to celebrate our 60th Reunion. It was a weekend of memories, friendships, recognition and fun, and a reminder of what it means to be lifelong Classmates and Shipmates.

Thank you to the Executive Committee for planning an unforgettable weekend, and to everyone who made the trip to Annapolis.

Class Wellness Initiative Shifts Into High Gear

  • Recordings on previously-presented health and wellness topics including Prostate Health, Agent Orange, Pain Management, Caregiving, Palliative & Hospice Care, Funeral Options, Trusts & Financial Planning, Travel and more are housed HERE

Welcome aboard, Classmate!

Please note – the website will continue to expand to offer information, resources, photos and more for the Class of 1966. If you have suggestions, comments or concerns, please contact the USNA 66 webmaster.

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE

Classmates may send an email to initiate the process for getting financial or other assistance in the event of a disaster or other severe incident (house burned down, family member in hospital and need a place to stay nearby, mudslide or forest fire, hurricane, tornado, flood, terrorist attack, etc.). Clicking on “Need Emergency Support” will automatically send e-mails to two key Class Officers who will start the process of evaluating your level of need. Your request for assistance will be kept confidential with as few Classmates as possible knowing about it.

The Class process for providing financial assistance can be reviewed by clicking here.
DO NOT USE THIS EMAIL FOR ANY COMMUNICATIONS THAT ARE NOT OF AN EMERGENCY NATURE. Use the Contact Us page for non-emergency communications.
