He was my drafting teacher at West Scranton High School many years ago. I didn't learn much about drafting from him but I did learn many more important lessons from him. He was unique in so many ways. His influence has stayed with me from those high school days for over 60 years. Sail on Mr. Fuller...

"A sailor has passed away today." The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. You are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow Navy veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The carrier has turned into the wind preparing for your final launch. Taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation“s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
