IAttended Eastern Military Academy, after a Transfer from St. Emma's Military Academy in Powhatan, Virginia... in 1972 thru 1974
Junior and Senior Years..
It was the Best of Times,
It was the Worst of Times..
The War was Still raging in Vietnam,
We prepared for Military Service...
I regret turning down a scholarship
to West Point as well Widner Military
College...Officer training was in my
Future but my past caught up with me
And diverted me on another course...
My memories are very vivid, of a time
When boys became men and proudly defended
The National Shores of this Great Country
With Strength, Bravery and Intestinal Fortitude.... Where are they Now in 2024 !!!

One of the great architectural treasures of this country! I graduated from Eastern Military Academy in 79, the last class. It's a great building, restored to its original grandeur. In three years there I grew to love the place.

My brother graduated from there around 1965 when it was Eastern Military Academy. Many memories were born in those 4 years.....in the midst of it's grandure.

I graduated from Eastern Military in 1960. It is great to see the estate restored and in use. Many memories there.

I lived in the mansion in 1943 when the government used it to train merchant marine radio operators. I lived in Khan's bedroom with about 20 other men in double deck bunks! Every Saturdy we took the Long Island Railroad to NYC for a great weekend. Seeing shows like Oklahoma for free and eating at the Pepsi Canteen on Times Sqaure.

I attended Eastern Military in the early 1960's it was at that time a premier military academy....I still have photographs I found in the Oheka clock tower of a banquet that seems to be in the 1920's....I have many unforgettable memories of my time at Eastern..

Quite a place. I was there in 1952 for my brothers graduation from Eastern Military
Academy. The property was in prestine condition, being only fourteen years after Otto
Kahns death it was perfect. The Robinson family who owned Eastern and operated the Academy
would be very happy to see what the present owners have done to restore the Castle. Mr
Robinson and his wife probably had the same feelings for this property. It's a place that
if you have ever visted, you will never for get I had two brothers attend EMA.
