So Damm sad and depressing...Lester was such a good friend and a core member of the COSL Analysis shop. During my time in N33, Les was always available to lend a hand or provide advice to a young goober such as myself. Had so hoped to see him this September.
Les - I promise to look up and lift a glass to you in remembrance...keep smiling up there.
Sadly, The COSL N33 shop in the 1980-1982 time frame has now lost: Les, Jack, Ernie, Phil, Terry, and Stan. Hope Dave and Layne are taking care of themselves.
As there are no IUSS data base records regarding Les's assignments and dates of service, consider checking his DD-214 for this info if his service records are available.
An apology is in order as I checked my RAD DD-214 (which I should have reviewed before posting the above) and there are no documentation of duty stations listed. Sorry about that!
Got some info from folks stationed with him. Every little bit helps. He and Kathy met after he retired from the Navy so she was most familiar with his civilian career.
I’m going to his Memorial on August 3rd in Gainesville. I’ll post more info on that as she finalizes the details.
