Shaking Up the World is a collection of stories by the members of the Naval Academy Class of 1957. Jim Paulk organized this collection, as classmates offered their individual stories. The Shaking, and shaping, of four years at Annapolis molded men who would spend their lives Shaking Up the World, in large ways and small, in uniform and as civilians. Brad Parkinson's Architecture of the Global Positioning System (GPS) was monumental. Charlie Duke, an astronaut, spent 72 hours on the surface of the moon. Jerry Barczak tells about being hijacked by Hezbollah terrorists in a fatal event. The War in Vietnam involved many of our classmates, and Leo Hyatt's account of imprisonment in the Hanoi Hilton is a classic in bravery and loyalty. Larry Bustle's account of being shot down over enemy territory brings back the terrific impact war had on all of us. Bob McElwee's story of his life as a National Football referee is one of several that show how the Class has been Shaking Up the World as civilians.
