My cousin attended HS in northern VA. His father was a navy captain. He received a nomination to the naval academy in 1976 but from a WV congressman. His nomination was even listed in the local WV newspaper among other local WV kids. Were the rules different in 1976 or for children of officers? Or did his father unethically list him in a region where the competition was much less qualified? He never lived nor attended school in this WV congressional district. I guess this also makes the congressman look a little fishy too.
