Following is the report that John Fry sent to Dave Carruth regarding the the Ginger Cove homecoming :

Dave, here is our report on the Naval Academy homecoming dinner at Ginger Cove:

The class of 1948 in great in many ways. Reminiscent of those wonderful, long-gone, Friday night homecoming parties in Dahlgren Hall, and afterwards Alumni Hall, this year our class organized a homecoming blue and gold gala at Ginger Cove with champagne reception and five-star dinner for over 100 guests, mainly from the classes 1943-1950. It was the place to be in Annapolis that Friday night for food, friends, and fun, arguably the best party in town. We were most pleased to have as our guest Brigade six-striper Jonathan Monti, along with four other senior first classmen, to enliven our spirit. Class of 1948 participants were Bill Bass and Carol Manganaro, Don and Marion Buhrer, Fay Barnes, Roger and Amante Carlquist, Tony and Patty Duncan, John and Toni Fry, Chuck and Rhona Gorder, Charlie and Marguerite Heid, Leila Holstein, Bill and Elizabeth Reed, and Phil and Patsy Rogers.

With every good wish, John
