Wives
Menta, Lillian  10/11/07                     
For those of you who have not heard, my wife Lil passed away late on Thursday night, Oct. 11th  while in the hospital. She was admitted Tuesday morning Oct. 9th with hopes of finding a solution to her esophagus problem. She was scheduled to have an endoscopy of her esophagus Friday morning, however late Thursday night she had a cardiac arrest due to a pulmonary embolism.  The doctors had brought her back twice, but could not save her.  Lil was a fighter, she beat the cancer only to be knocked out by this. We had 51 years of a glorious marriage and knew each other a total of 55 years.   Lots of memories to hold me over.

All the phone calls I had received started off the same way, "I'm Shocked!" from our local priest our Township Commissioner and our State Rep.  Lil sure did leave a lasting impression.
I am more proud of her now than I ever was.

 

Sorry if I'm sending again to you who have heard about Lil.

Dom

DOM;

         The FAA, is Planning a Fifty Year Anniversary, next July 1st, 2008, to celebrate that 50 years ago the FAA, obtained the Atlantic City Naval Air Station.

   They are planning a dual event and ALL UNIFORM PERSONNEL that served at this Base are invited to register by calling 609-485-5555, and provide their name, rank, phone number, and e-mail address if available. They hope to have a e-mail address later on.

   Please post this notice, at your convenience. I have been asked to serve as a member of the Committee, as I served at this Local Base, after my duty on the USS Wisconsin.
