 2026 Tailgates
We will be hosting tailgates at each home football game this year. Our location is on the visiting (gold) side parking lot, section 8, near the northwest corner of the parking lot (where the water tower is) and on the Rowe Blvd side of the lot. There will be a ’74 flag marking the spot. The intent is to have the tailgate open three hours before kickoff. It is BYO. Please join us.

Hopefully you know that our classmate, Larry Turner, is a prolific author. Recently, he had the idea of our class establishing a Class Song (or Anthem). And in keeping with his general outlook in life (“If I’ve never done it, it’s only because I haven’t tried YET!”), Larry set out and created such a song.
Larry's music video version of our song - For Ever More The Class of ’74 is posted here.
Your class officers have met and agreed that we should adopt For Ever More The Class of ’74 as our class song. The chorus, in particular, is very meaningful. Once you hear it, you will find that it keeps playing over and over again in your mind. Please note that the last verse of the song is a tribute to our fallen classmates. Larry envisions updating the photos of our fallen classmates in the video on an annual basis.
Thanks to Larry for his efforts.
Sincerely,
John Yaeger

All Eternity Lies Before Me
by Loreen Gibbons
Alfa Foxtrot 586, a P-3 Orion turboprop, was conducting a sensitive Cold War mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula on October 26, 1978, when a propeller malfunction turned into four engine fires and the pilot—Loreen Grigsby’s husband, Jerry—was forced to ditch into remote, mountainous seas churned by a frigid North Pacific storm.
Submarine
by Tom Clancy and John Gresham
Only the author of The Hunt for Red October could capture the reality of life aboard a nuclear submarine. Only a writer of Mr. Clancy's magnitude could obtain security clearance for information, diagrams, and photographs never before available to the public.
Featuring Houston Keith Jones, captain of the USS Miami and his crew.
