    I am sorry to hear of Linwood’s passing. It was an honor for me to have worked with him at NARF (Naval Air Rework Facility,) later renamed Naval Aviation Depot (NADEP) in Norfolk. I worked with him in the Calibration Lab when Mr. Robert Walker was our supervisor. His military service for our country is impressive, again I am honored to have worked with him.
