0005-reunion2009-GailWilliamsonandJerryHoward.jpg

  We lost our shipmate Jerry Howard on November 27, 2010.

Here is a photo of Master Chief Jeremy Howard with Gail Williamson at the 2009 reunion. 

Jerry Howard served aboard the Ruchamkin from 1951 until 1955.

Jerry was also the Ruchamkin Association's private detective. 

He found more crew members than the rest of us put together. 

If you had a name, Jerry would find them.  We'll miss our Sam Spade.
