★★★ Memorial Monday ★★★
Lt. Jeffrey Stanley '70, USN was lost on November 19, 1974 when the A-4 Skyhawk he was piloting collided with another aircraft off the coast of San Diego, California. He was a member of Composite Squadron (VC) 7.
From the Lucky Bag:
Coming to the Severn Shores from somewhere in California called "Lemoore," Jeff never encountered problems in adapting to the rigors of military life ... he never adapted. During his four-year stay at Navy, his sporting activities varied from plebe swimming team, to varsity sailing, and finally to varsity pad-man and two-letter restrictee. Jeff was never one to ignore a female form of any description, a trait which was to cause considerable discussion among his numerous friends. His thirst for brew, likewise of any description, was equally insatiable. Jeff occasionally made the mistake of mixing wine and women, which led him on a fiery trail that was entertaining to all but equalled by none. With some aid from a condescending Commandant, and a liberal Academic Board, Jeff will travel to Pensacola to earn his wings of gold.
He was married to the former Sara Patrick on July 3, 1971. She was pregnant at the time of his death; he was also survived by two sisters.
To Honor! ⚓
