CARL J. ROHSENBERGER, JR., LTJG, USN
Carl Rohsenberger, Jr. '57
Lucky Bag
From the 1957 Lucky Bag:
CARL JOHN ROHSENBERGER, JR.
New Braunfels, Texas
Carl settled down on the banks of the Severn, after many years of moving from place to place as the son of an Army officer. He found many outlets for his many-faceted personality at Navy, concentrating most of his athletic endeavors on plebe and Varsity Crew. His career as an oarsman was temporarily held up during youngster year by an accident that befell him on the volleyball court. No one could ever figure out how he managed to get his foot caught in the net, but it laid him up for several weeks!
