[Dan Arnes]

6/15/18, got a call from "Red" Fairbanks, left a message that Bob Bennett had passed away.  Returned his call, said Bob was having dinner last Saturday 6/9/18 at home, and passed away after right after eating a bowl of ice cream.

His wife told Red it will be a military burial in CA, Red didn't know where or when yet, but Bob's wife said it will be at least 10 days before she knows. Red will call me when he hears from her and I will post it. No Obituary yet.

Prior Association MBR Seawolf Robert "Bob" Carl BENNETT, ADJC (Ret), Maintenance, Binh Thuy, 11/23/1970 to 11/8/1971.

Was Chief Bennet the line Chief? Remember 2 different Chiefs out there.  Both were good guys, easy to work with likeable and great with younger enlisted guys. Especially ones with big mouths...

[Red Fairbanks]

He was the Power plants Chief.

Chief Barton was the Line Chief when I was on the line 70-71.
