**Start Here – Welcome Letter**

Welcome to the USNA Class of 1975 50th Reunion                       03 MARCH 2025

Welcome to the Class of 1975 50th Reunion site! This is your primary site for information or links about the daily schedule, reunion events, lodging, transportation, and purchasing merchandise (SWAG). We will also disseminate reunion information through Class Blasts, Shipmate, and Company Representatives. We will have a Registration Site available in later winter 2025 for alumni and family to register for the reunion and related events, donating for class-designated charities, and signing up for sporting events.

Whether you have been to past reunions or if this is your first, we know that everyone will enjoy attending the reunion events and – more importantly – renewing friendships and swapping sea stories. Key events include a Welcome Reception (Fluegel Alumni Center); Class Meeting and Memorial Service; Class Dinner (Dahlgren Hall); and the football game and tailgate party (Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium).

I want to highlight an important program – Financial Assistance Fund – that we established to help alumni and widows who would like to attend the reunion but do not have sufficient funds to pay for some or all the costs. We understand that it is difficult to ask for help. Our class, however, has a special bond that compels us to take care of each other. Accordingly, we strongly encourage alumni or widows that need financial assistance to take advantage of this confidential program. See the 50th Reunion Financial Assistance Fund description on this site for additional information.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I either have the gouge or will know how to get it!! We look forward to seeing everyone in October 2025.

Fair winds and following seas!
