ALAN P. LEWIS, 1LT, USAF
Alan Lewis '55
Lucky Bag
From the 1955 Lucky Bag:
ALAN POMEROY LEWIS
Washington, D.C.
With a mambo beat from Panama, Al danced into Academy life. With him he brought an indispensable love for the submarine service, an easy ability for the academics, and a strong desire for the opposite sex, all three of which he kept with him during his stay on the Severn. Al was also a tycoon of the local answer to television — radio station WRNV — and was an accomplished baritone in the Chapel Choir. Over the years we noted one other thing about Al, and that was his devotion to the naval service which he would discuss with any and all who would listen. We wish him the best of luck in his years with the Fleet.
He was also a member of the Trident Calendar.
