He knew everyone by name beginning with the newly arrived seaman apprentice. In fact, several years after my service at Kami Seya I had a chance meeting with him and he addressed me by name...

It was a real pleasure serving for a leader who could make all of his personnel understand and love the concept of duty. Admiral March always carried that standard and carried it better than so many others. His ability to communicate the concept of duty and how terribly important although difficult it was to always do your duty might have come from his admiration of Admiral Lord Nelson who was one of Admiral March's historic heros. Admiral March could proudly walk around any of the...

As neighbors at Panorama we felt privileged to live next to Pat and for a short time Saumie. We also enjoyed

May you find solace in the tributes being expressed here.
