I served under two commanding officers: EM Morgan and R Wood. Although Capt. Margan had left the squadron when I asked him for a recommendation to graduate school, he wrote one for me. Played one wall handball with him on several occasions. You probably know that he passed at 102 years of age. A good officer and a fine man.
