 On
Oct. 25, members of the Class of 1965 gathered on campus for a ceremony
to honor two fallen classmates. Capt. John J. Burke, USMC, '65 and
Lt. Thomas E. Gilliam, USN, '65, both naval aviators, were killed
in combat during the Vietnam War. In their memory, a granite and bronze
marker was dedicated at the base of a weeping mulberry tree, which was planted
during the 30th-class reunion in 1995. The tree and marker are located on
a knoll above the Jesuit cemetery. The ceremony, which ended with the playing
of Taps by a Navy bugler, was attended by over 50 classmates, family
members, friends and representatives of the College and the United States
military.
