January 13, 2009 - I was hoping to make it much further into 2009 before I had to do this. Dan McRae, NavET 1976 - 1979, Blue Crew passed away in a Dallas, TX hospital this past Sunday evening. Check out Eternal Patrol for Dan' obituary. I wish to send our heart-felt condolences to his family and friends from the entire crew of the Key. Sailor - rest your oar. Job well done.
