**13** Found and spoke with widow of DAT Plank Owner Seawolf Bobby Wayne PERKINS, ADJC, Maintenance, Vung Tau, 6/8/1897 to 5/20/1968. Died after 2nd bypass surgery 12/27/1992, living in West, TX. Buried in Waco, TX. I had found his name on FindAGrave with approximate age, but no mention of military service, so requested a grave photo. Looked at it yesterday and it was just a mausoleum marker that had his name. I enlarged it and found the symbol of a Navy CPO on it, and went from there.

~~~448 Seawolves still to be found, including 36 Plank Owners and Original Army Sea Wolves.
