Webmaster: Marion was one of the early contributors to this website. Down through the years, he brought us photos and documents related to squadron life in the late fifties and early sixties. From correspondence and photos he also shared with me his love for dancing with his wife in various dance groups he belonged to.
He also posted his love for the navy in his "Guest Log" page 2 #29 on this site. Use the navigation links for "Guest Log" on any major page.
He will be missed by all of us. Ken Jack
After Eastern went under I went to Northwest in Atlanta and Marion had been there for some time and he ended as Director of Mtce, Engine shop. I worked in the hangar and like VFP-62, he was on the line and me in power-plant shop. With detachments overlapping, I didn't get to know him well, but knew him at North West and a very nice guy. I know he was a big contributor of info/photos for our site. John Dwyer ADJ.
