Class of 1966 Gift

Class of 1966 Gift

Russ Kniehl ’66 presents “The Midshipman Looking Out To Sea” sculpture to President William Brennan, Maine Maritime Academy and the Town of Castine at an unveiling ceremony during their recent 50th Reunion July 25 – 27. The class gift was a five-year project stemming from discussions the class had at their 45th reunion. Sculptor Forest Hart from Monroe, ME was commissioned to create the statue that represents “looking out to the sea which will be (the) future and looking to welcome home to MMA all who have gone before.”  Forty-one classmates and their spouses, friends, and family, attended the event. The weather was beautiful, conversations were lively and memories were shared. We look forward to welcoming the class back at their 55th reunion!
