1981 graduate of US Naval Academy, daughter and granddaughter of graduates Davey Jones '53 (below) and William L Maxson '21 l #141269801, inventor of the in-flight meal that became commercialized as the "TV dinner."
She was a lovely young woman and a regular at her father's classmates' tailgate parties, and loved by us all. As a cheerleader she greeted us in the stands at our 25th reunion in 1978. Cary was killed in a midair collision during a night training flight, the first female Naval Aviator to die in line of duty, an unenviable distinction, but as much in service to her country as in battle. Her Naval Aviator's gold wings were carried into space by astronaut Sally Ride on her first orbital mission.
Here is her Lucky Bag '81 page entry, composed by her roommate:
This All-American girl - blond, blue eyes, freckles - with the enthusiasm to be a cheerleader for three years, the athletic prowess to be a gymnast, swimmer and track star (anyone who survived Major Dunham that 1st year is a star in my book!), the talent and co-ordination (not to mention finesse) to carry off the lead in the musical, and mostly, the patience to live with me for four years, can only be Cary.
Plebe year went by pretty quick, what with falling in love with a certain javelin thrower (Who'll always be pretty high on her list), making national television at Army hanging from trees . . . remember Jane Paul Jones? Youngster year Cary showed extraordinary ,leadership as section leader when a prof fried her whole class for dlsrespect to the section leader-even her! Actually Cary's a natural leader, with a supply of initiative and responsibility that never runs short. The next year found her busy with stripes, cakes and men! Lola gets what she wants and she wants to fly. Best of luck in P-cola.
