Webb Mourns The Passing Of Adm. Bryan

VADM C. Russell Bryan, USN (Ret.)

We received word recently that Adm. Russell Bryan passed away on June 7th at the age of 89.

Our alumni will remember him fondly. According to one, "Admiral Bryan was a great man who guided many young lives along honorable and hard-working paths"; another remarked, "He was one of the favorite and most admired people I have had contact with in my life." Adm. Bryan was an honorary member of the Webb Alumni Association. more...

Alumni Spotlight: Matthew P. Tedesco '91

So when it was time for me to apply to college, Webb was at the top of my list.  Spending time on campus clinched the deal. more...

Webb's Weekend Regatta

From September 22- 23 Webb hosted its own fall regatta, the Coho Memorial, which was organized by seniors Roxanne Schacht and Troy Zangle.  Racing was held both days in favorable conditions, excluding a brief abandonment Sunday morning due to heavy wind.  The young Webb team sailed exceptionally well on our home turf and went on to win the event in dramatic fashion. Congratulations go out to skippers Cody Stansky, Casey Brown, and Troy Zangle and their crews Kurt Gavel, Erin Hub, Samm Griswold, Oleg Golubev, and T. Graham Fisher. After sailing, the competitors graciously enjoyed a post-race cookout on the yacht club patio.
