**002** Found and spoke with Seawolf Ralph E. Williams, Jr, CDR, Det 3 Vinh Long, 5/24/68 to 11/19/1968. Found him retired as CAPT in North Kingstown, RI. Said he was in HA(L)-3 for only 6 months when a flight physical showed heart problems and was sent back to NAVHOSP Chelsea, MA. His Dad was CDR in WWII plank owner on USS Wisconsin. Ralph retired from Navy in 1978 has been an artist since. Just lost his wife last January after 47 years of marriage, no computer, doesn’t get around much, but I will send the stuff to his Daughter so she knows of the Seawolves.

Of the 2,552 confirmed Seawolf names, 374 Navy Seawolves still left to find, which includes 30 Plank Owners, and 6 prior Association Members we’ve lost contact with.
