Navy Lacrosse
Photos and story by Phyllis Smalley

I am embarrassed to say that I can't tell much about the game, except that from what I saw, it was exciting and Navy won. My husband and our friends told me that I missed a great game!

These pictures are from the first 5 minutes and the last 7 minutes. You see, my son's uniforms got forgotten at home and I managed to race back and forth in about an hour. Not bad considering we live 20 miles away from West Point and security was very very tight. The MPs warned everyone to get out of the way of the Navy Mom in the white van - I was a Mom on a mission. :-) The Tailgate party was wonderful - I asked who paid for it and got a couple of different answers. I heard from a Mid that the welfare fund paid for it, but someone else said that a Navy Fan from Brooklyn took care of everything.

Anyway, everyone present was treated to chicken, steak and ribs and an extensive assortment of salads. There were a handful of parents in attendance and everyone enjoyed talking to the Mids. Some of the Exchange Mids from last Fall semester were also there and enjoyed seeing the friends that they made up at WP. The Mids really apreciated the good food and soda. A great time was had by all. The buses were on the road before 6 pm for the trip back to the Yard.
