[ARC5] [Boatanchors] Wayne Green, W2NSD, Dead at 91.

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

I just finished viewing one item on the TenderTales that Sherry Guttery posted (below).

I read the whole story of the "Fulton" and the crewmember/writer mentioned that the first sub he ever saw was the USS DRUM, the boat on which Wayne served at one time.  Some coincidence, eh?
