FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS SHIPMATES

 

 

SICKBAY

LaDonna Bradshaw received the following in an email from Milly Gaumont:
Roger Gaumont, SN 4th Division 1952-1953, recently and suddenly has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with lymph nodes involved. He has had surgery and will need to have chemo when he gets stronger. This year would have been his 40th year as a

Cancer survivor. Milly has requseted that we pray for Roger’s recovery.
Shipmates, if you can, send Rodger a card to let him know we are thinking of him. I’m sure a card from a former crew member will lift his spirits.   For R. Gaumont’s address, contact LaDonna at bb64members@aol.com  or
 Dom Menta at dombb64@ptd.net
