Update on Class Officer election (8/6/2025)
From email to Company Reps from Class President (7/30/2025):
Dear Company Reps, Please pass to All Hands including widows so we can ensure a strong voter turnout.
TO: CLASS OF ’75
FROM: CLASS OF ’75 ELECTION COMMITTEE
ROY HAWKENS, ANDY HOWARD, STEVE HUBBARD
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON CANDIDATES AND ELECTION PROCESS
On or around August 25, 2025, electronic ballots will be made available to Classmates and widowed spouses of Classmates who have created an account on the “Class of ’75 50thReunion Registration Website.” Voting will be limited to electronic ballots, and in order to vote, you must create an account on the reunion website. Creating an account does not obligate you to pay for or participate in any reunion activities; rather, you are simply creating an account at a site that will enable you to vote and where you also will have the ability, if you choose, to sign up for reunion activities.
We currently have five “Named Candidates” and one “Declared Write-In Candidate.” Biographies of all candidates will accompany the ballots, and you will have the opportunity to cast votes for four weeks. Election results will be announced at our 50-year reunion Class Meeting. The term of office for the newly elected officers will commence immediately after the Class Meeting is adjourned.
The following candidates will be listed on the ballot as “Named Candidates:”
NAMED CANDIDATES
President: Chris Cikanovich
Bill Daley
Vice President: Dave Frost
Treasurer: Dave Duffie
Secretary: Larry Warrenfeltz
The following candidate is running as a “Declared Write-In Candidate:”
DECLARED WRITE-IN CANDIDATE
Vice President: Bill Squires
On behalf of the Class of ’75, the Election Committee expresses its gratitude to the above candidates for their willingness to serve the Class and USNA as Class Officers!
Elaboration from Election Committee (8/6/2025): The “electronic ballot” is a web page on the Reunion Registration web site. Once the registrant has registered on the Reunion Registration web site, he/she will be enabled to click on the “VOTE HERE” button on the Registration page. The voter will be directed to a voting page (the “electronic ballot) on the Registration web site. There, he/she can indicate his/her choice for each office, including a Write-In option. There will be NO Electronic Ballot mailed or emailed to any voter.
NOTE: Additionally, on the Reunion Registration web site, after registering, the registrant can go to a different area of the web site to sign up and pay for events at the reunion.

Class of 1975 – Another Link in the Chain info
From 4/14/2021 “Class Email Blast” from Class Prez Chick (note request for info in last paragraph about Reunion 45 [+1] –
————————-
75, Greetings from Key West,
Somewhere along the way you expressed an interest in helping with Another Link in the Chain (ALITC) program.
I suppose you are wondering – what are we doing with the Class of 2025?
– The Class of 2025 should all receive their appointments over the next week. As such we are starting to get requests for welcome aboard functions from the various regional alumni and parent groups. The groups would like to have a member of the class of 75 attend and provide a talk to the incoming plebes.
The ALITC Chair, Steve Hubbard, is preparing a power point presentation for our representatives. Of course we don’t know which event will be in person or virtual.
Steve is looking for volunteers to make the presentation. Volunteers, please reply to Steve (hubbs99@verizon.net ) & cc me (chickc975@gmail.com) , providing your home location so Steve can match them with requests. Also provide how far you are willing to travel (i.e., 50 miles, a hundred,miles)
We are waiting on information for I Day and will update as appropriate.
– Later in the summer is the Honor Coin Ceremony (where we present a challege coin to each member of the Class of 2025).
– At the end of the summer .. IF there is a Parent’s Weekend, IF there is a parade, IF we get an invite to attend, I will forward a note on that as well.
As an aside, please let your company representative know if you plan to attend the reunion during the weekend of November 4-6. I would like to get an idea of interest.
Thanks,
Chris “Chick”.
