Annapolis

Ralph Crosby ’56 lives by four simple words: inspiring actions that matter. It’s a mantra that’s guided him since 1973, when he launched Crosby Marketing Communications, Inc. The firm, which employs 120 people in Annapolis, Md., and Washington, D.C., started when “marcomm” was in its infancy. The company has since evolved into one of the nation’s most successful independent marketing communications firms.

On February 2, 1992, the University of Maryland Club Hockey team defeated the U.S. Naval Academy, 6-5, to win the 15^th annual Crab Pot Tournament in Annapolis. This victory was a great story. What occurred 30 years later is an even better story.
