Other Memories "Straight from the great Southwest and proud of it, the Mex, a natural brain, managed to triumph over his studies and also have time for good music and bridge, not to mention the dragging of beautiful women." He was aboard USS St. Paul, off Inchon when, having drawn the short straw, skippered a motor cruise launch and drowned when it capsized on the ferocious tidal currents in the harbor.
