FROG SEARCH

A family member wrote me searching for his father, LTjg Gerald W. Myers Jr., Class 07, Coronado, 17 Apr 1953. His first assignment was UDT-1. Our Korean Plaque does not reflect Gerald Myers as having made it to the Korean War. I suspect this Myers who graduated Class 07, was then held in the States pending the return of UDT-1 in approximately Aug 1953. If any of you "50's Frogs" can recall this LTjg Gerald Myers or know of his whereabouts please contact me at kg777@comcast.net.

There were 12 officers that graduated from Class 07, Coronado, and more from Little Creek.
