The Class of 1960 Memorial Scholarship honors the sacrifice and bravery
of our classmates, Donnie Lee Darrow, Alexander McIver Jr., William
Marshall Roark, and Martin Nelson Tull, who were killed in action while
in the service of our country.
The scholarship will be managed by the Athletic and Scholarship Division
of the U. S. Naval Academy Foundation, and will be provided to a
prospective Midshipman who will benefit from a year of study at a
prestigious prep school prior to entrance to the Naval Academy. The
selection of the candidate will be made by the Dean of Admissions of the
Academy.
The first recipient of the scholarship will be in 2012.
Letters
announcing the scholarship have been sent to the families of these four
classmates
killed during the Viet
Nam war. The following letter of appreciation was addressed to our
Class President:
"Dear John,
Thank you and all of the class of 1960
for honoring my father, Donnie Darrow, Alexander McIver,
and Martin Tull, with the establishment of this new
scholarship. It means a great deal to me and my family.
I know that I speak for all of my family
that we are truly blessed by the friendship and warmth
given to us over the years. We are humbled by the
service and character of the men of Super ’60.
Sincerely,
Bill Roark"
