Other Comments:

Rear Admiral J.S. McFarland is probably best known for never forgetting a Sailor. He had an uncanny ability to remember everyone he met. Ask any CT, CPO or 161X/644X/ 744X who knew him and you'll hear a story about a man who genuinely loved his cryptologic community and every member of it.
