MIDN 4/C Chris Bianchi made it to the top of Herndon! He is the son of my USNA classmate and flight school room mate, CDR Kevin "Block" Bianchi, USNA85, who died in a CH-53 accident in Sigonella Sicily. Tragically for the Bianchi family, his older brother Bobby was also killed in a CH-46 accident in the Phillipines during my first WESTPAC deployment. Kevin's older brother Jimmy was also USNA graduate. Great to see the Bianchi family carry on their long family history of Naval service!
