Years Served: 66-67…She was a good ol girl. Spent a lot of peaceful time out at sea on fantail when not on

Years Served: 1969…I have been compiling a photographic essay of the life of RD3 Con Wesley Wes Warnock, who went down with the Frank E Evans on 3 June, 1969. I knew Wes as a child and began research for this project while serving as teacher and principal at the small high school in Pineland, Texas which Wes attended. I would appreciate any and all remembrances of Wes, whether they are appropriate for print or not, and will handle them with discretion, so as to only treat his memory with dignity and respect. I have made several presentations over the past several years at Veterans Day and Memorial Day ceremonies and would like to continue adding to the presentation. The program is in Powerpoint format and I would be glad to share it with any of Wes’ friends. It contains many photographs. Wes’ only sister has aided me in this project, but (40 years later) is still unable to adequately cope with the fact that she convinced Wes to enlist in the Navy.
