Re: OTC Jim Daniel

My first LPO, Sec 4, Arg, 1966. Jim Daniel as LPO, Jim Adair as TPO and Charlie Kohn as my station supervisor. Between the three of them, I didn't have a second to spare.

Jim Daniel and I had the occasion to play a couple of rounds of golf together. Let me just say he was a good LPO. :)

Jim was a great guy. Unfortunately, we didn't maintain contact after the 60th reunion. I regret that.

Our condolences to the Daniel family.

Re: OTC Jim Daniel

Prior to his time in Argentia, Jim was in the submarine service. I recall his initiation to Chief so well. He spent a lot of "his" day in a wet suit, scuba fins, and carrying a cardboard periscope that he had been instructed to manufacture, reporting "periscope sightings" of Chief Petty Officers. Jim was such a wonderful man. So proud, and with such grace. I will never forget when the CPO Creed was read to him. RIP my friend - you made me proud to know you.

Re: OTC Jim Daniel

I never had the opportunity to serve with Jim, but as can be seen by the comments here, that was a missed opportunity to meet and work with a good Chief! Fair Winds and Following Seas Jim.
