These are the latest old photos we've come across, on the occasion of Gregg's graduation from the United States Naval Academy in 1969. Hard to believe that it was 40 years ago this month. The first photo shows Gregg with his Mom, Dad and sister. I was 19 at the time, still living my life in England and totally oblivious what fate had in store for me a few years later.
Gregg with his Mom and Dad. His Mom passed away a few years ago, so these photos are very special.
In the photo above and below he is with an Aunt and Uncle who came out from Montana for his graduation and I see his Mom smiling behind them. They also passed away several years ago. 
Gregg with his aunt. I am happy that I got to meet her on a trip to North Dakota at one of the family reunions, and we also corresponded for many years. I never met Gregg's uncle.
All the Midshipmen on the parade ground. Gregg is in there somewhere.
Gregg in his parade uniform afterwards.
This must have been taken not too long before they returned home. Gregg had a month off before he was sent to his first assignment.

I am glad to see these old photos, as you called them. They show a lifetime of memories for you and for Greg.
I posted a picture of my mom back in the late 1920s. Boy times have really changed.
What a nice tribute to Greg, he looks so handsome in both uniforms. All the pictures are very nice. Thank you for coming by, have a great week.
he and his nuncle stand exactly the same wya!
Wonderful! Arean't you glad he got to England and you met him?? We're certainly glad he brought you back here :-)
I love it! Gregg looks terrific in his uniform. These photos are really a precious, wonderful memento. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Great photographs. I have never been in any branch of the armed services but I have what I guess would be a "navy family" with two relatives who graduated at Annapolis and one of which made admiral. My brother was a navy enlisted man until he retired.
There is nothing quite like a navy dress uniform.
Great old photos. Thanks for letting us have a look.
Lovely memories. he looks so smart in uniform. I can see why you fell for him. Tell us your love story.
He is a tall fine good looking gentleman (catch)! I have saved a lot of old photographs too, some in sepia and black and white. I love them all! Memories that last a lifetime.
