Maryland State Police 61^st Academy Class Reunion

 On November 29, 1968, graduation ceremonies were held in Pikesville for the 61^st Trooper Candidate Class.  I think back to that day and can still recall the pride I had when my MSP badge was pinned on. I am most certain that we all remember that day as a special time in our lives.

 Many years have passed by since that November day.  Unfortunately, we have lost some of our classmates.  Time has taken a toll on our bodies but I don’t think it has dampened the spirit of the 61^st class.  I know I recall fondly some of the times we had, like the evening that someone put Jonathan Willey’s bed in the classroom.  No one on the Training Division Staff but Sergeant John Sawa would have laughed at our antics!

 I am sure that you have some fond memories of our twenty-five weeks at Pikesville.  Come and share them with as many of our classmates as we can gather at the MSP Alumni Association Meeting at the Elks Lodge, 160 Truck House Road, Severna Park, MD 21146, phone 410-647-2482, on August 9, 2008 from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM. 

 If you are in touch with any of our classmate’s please contact them and encourage them to attend.  

 Please send me an e-mail if you are planning to attend.  My e-mail address is dyohman@myactv.net

Plan to attend the forty year reunion of the 61^st Maryland State Police Academy class.
