Marv was a MMFN I think. He was killed in a car wreck while on leave back east somewhere. I don't remember if he died before we made our first cruise. I had a lot of fun with him as we were both somewhat wild even by sailor standards.

Wes,
He died between the 65 and 66 cruises. I think it was about a month before I came aboard in Jun 66. The guys in the after engine room were still talking about him, and I remember that the accident was fairly recent.
