J Jorgensen wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Sandy and Family, I am sitting down working on my Christmas card list, and decided to Google Dick, since I hadn't heard from him in a while. I worked for him at the CG R&D Center in the 70's, where he encouraged me to enlist in the CG Reserve, and I enjoyed a 20-year reserve career. Over the years we kept in touch through letters, and I always looked forward to his card reminding me of Coast Guard Day. My condolences; I am very sad. Jonel Jorgensen, Sacramento, CA”
