The Class of 1970 bids fair Winds and Following Seas to CAPT Daniel Maltby Rugg III USNR

On 13 April 2026, Dan Rugg's family, classmates, sailing crewmates, friends, and relatives gathered at the Naval Academy Chapel to bid their final farewells to two-time Sailing All American Daniel Maltby Rugg III. Dan's son Whitney and daughter Frazier provided Rememberances of their father (I learned a few things about Dan that I did not know) with just the right amount of humor added in. Following the service, everyone walked down to the ceremonial guns next to Alumni Hall on Dorsey Creek for the formal military portion of the service where Taps was played and a National Naval Ensign (flag) was folded and presented to Frazier. We then walked over to the Columbarium via the Fitch Bridge to Hospital Point. I was able to take a breather there by sitting on my walker. Once everyone was in place, Dan was place in the niche containing the cremains of his wife Hallie. We then walked back to the Acadey Club for an exceptionally good meal, drinks and conversation. Memorabilia of Dan's life was laid out on a table for all to see. I would like to give a shoutout to Jim Carter who stuck with me on my hike, to render assistance if required and also to Gino Marchetti, who risked life and limb to ride over to Annapolis with me. We also had a Greg Murphy sighting!
