**08** Found and spoke with niece of DAT Seawolf Sheldon Robert SMITH, AO2, Maintenance, Vung Tau, 7/27/1968 to 7/20/1969. She confirmed her uncle had passed away and that he was a Seawolf. Had orders from HA(L)-3 to NAVSTA Newport, RI for separation, she said he did get out and started getting sick soon afterward. Sheldon died of a Brain Tumor.

This photo is on our website as a Smith at Vung Tau: http://www.seawolf.us/vungtau/vtsmith.jpg
I am waiting on confirmation of this photo as being AO2 Sheldon Smith from his niece, so this may be a different Smith at Vung Tau.
