We have been informed of the passing of a shipmate Fred Marks, LI3, 60-61, after a battle with cancer, and a Galveston Gal Arleen Brower, also after a battle with cancer.  They will be added to the "DECEASED ROSTER"s, and remembered in the two (02) bell ceremony at the Reunion Dinner.  Gloria Marks will be added to the "HONORARY MEMBERS" roster.  Fred and Gloria have always been a fantastic help at the reunions and with the association and the Gals.  MAY FRED AND ARLEEN REST IN PEACE.

Comments:
Come to think about yard periods. It was the '68 time that the asbestos was removed from the missile house interior. They replaced it with fiberglas/sailcloth. Had to have some insulation cause the four inch steel plating/armor would heat up from the sun. Wasn't as hot as the engineering spaces, but with the electronics operating they were concerned for the missiles, not the sailors.
