Vice Admiral Ferguson walked into Rickover's hallways for the first time on June 2nd and was very impressed with the opportunities that Rickover is giving to the cadets. He believed that Rickover is making people better leaders and once they leave, they will be ready for the real world. During his visit, Vice Admiral Ferguson met Rickover cadets and staff, toured the building, visited classrooms and then gave a speech to the cadets before the Senior Bell Ceremony. An important comment that Vice Admiral Ferguson made to the cadets was, "Focus on academics and be a person of integrity and hard work. The world will reward a person of willingness, willingnes to do things outside of their comfort zone." Vice Admiral Ferguson also was able to practice his pitching motion with Cadet Meisels because he was throwing out the first pitch at the Sox game that night.Thank you, Vice Admiral Ferguson, for taking the time to visit Rickover.
