Wilma Barley
Class of 1961
U. S. Navy 1962-64
Highest Rank:  E-4 (Seaman Third Class) and was a Legal Yeoman (legal assistant). 

I was stationed in San Diego, California at the Destroyer Base (32nd Street) in the Legal Office.  It was the greatest experience of my life.  I was so very proud to wear the uniform of the United States Navy and to serve our country.  I was active during the Cuban Missile crisis and I was so glad that I could play a part, however small, in protecting our country during this difficult time. 

Most Memorable Experience: I would also say that my most memorable experience was being chosen to represent the Waves at a memorial service for John F. Kennedy right after his assasination in 1963.
