George Thomas Mailey

14 Quarterback Fall of 59

He learned early to utilize his BROWN BOY as an escape from Cadet Routine. He is remembered as one who “stuck to his guns” – never hesitating to say what he believed. He stood 92d in the Class and went Air Force at Graduation.

GEORGE T. MAILEY 1962

Cullum No. 23908-1962 | April 4, 1964 | Died in Columbus, OH

Interred in St. Mary’s Cemetery, Latrobe, PA

First Lieutenant George Thomas Mailey, a young man from Latrobe, Pennsylvania, who packed a brilliant list of accomplishments into 23 years of life, died Saturday, 4 April, three days before his 24th birthday. He never regained consciousness after suffering a severe head injury in an automobile accident on Good Friday in Columbus, Ohio. He died at 7:55 a.m. in the Riverside Hospital.

Throughout his student days at Latrobe High School, Thomas was known for his athletic ability and for his scholastic achievements. He won eight letters in three sports: football, basketball, and golf. But it took more than athletic ability to gain admission to the Military Academy, and Thomas proved that he had it, for he was on every monthly dean’s list save one in his four years as a cadet.

After his graduation from West Point and with a commission in the Air Force, Thomas was sent to Columbus to study nuclear physics at Ohio State University. He had been a student there for a year and a half at the time of the accident and would have received his master’s degree in August 1964.

Thomas was born on 7 April 1940, the son of Mr. and Mrs. George II. Mailey in, Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He is survived by his parents; his two sisters, Anne and Jane; and one brother, Patrick.

Ed Hendren

Scholar-Gymnast

The gymnastics media guide identifies our letter winners: Phil Costain (2 letters), Warren (Steve?) Foote (1 letter in 1962 but he did not graduate with us; does anyone know why?), Ed Hendren (2), Larry Mooring (1), Ken Wallace (2), Merle Williams (2), and Will Worthington (1). Of those I knew, I always considered them the fittest looking of the fittest.

Ed ranked number 10 in his class at graduation.

Renaissance Man

Tom Culver led the team in receptions in 1961 year with 20 catches for 305 yards, 15.3 yards per catch. (And we thought Tom spent his time in the dog house, at least some of us less-informed types did.) These ratings seem to be based on yards per catch. His 55-yard reception from Dick Eckert against Navy helped.

Tom briefly (a couple of years) held the single-game reception record, catching 11 passes in the Michigan game in 1960. A vast coaching/media conspiracy robbed him of this legacy as his number of catches were continually reduced (why, we do not know) until he dropped out of the top few, making way for more well-known and loved receivers.

He played on the basketball team but was dropped for a poor performance in a game in which he did not play.

Tom also earned a letter in lacrosse, scoring several goals against Mt. Washington and Navy.

Many know him for his musical group, the Hot Nuts, that played classical pieces in the Weapons Room while officers were present then went into rock and roll when they departed.

Bird watcher, author, golfer, raconteur: truly a renaissance man.
