Write-up on Albert Carl Straley, Jr from the Annapolis Naval Academy Annual from 1945:
"Gangway for a man from Deep in the Heart of! Never argue with him about the merits of Texas, because you're sure to come out second best. In two years with Ace, we've found that everything on this earth comes a little bigger and better if it has a Texas trademark. Ace turned in a fine academic record, in spite of a fondness for horizontal engineering developed from Plebe year. However, Dago and a certain girl from Baltimore kept him mighty busy at times. A quiet fellow except when the reveille bell rang. Ace could be counted on in any emergency to help out a friend."
