More detail on this person: Adm Terry, I flew with you as a student at HS 10 went to HS 2, instructor at HS10, then became a tar flying at HS 84 and 85. I have also been a close friend of Jerry McDonald since we roomed together on our first cruise aboard the Hornet. It saddens me to inform you of Jerry's passing due to cardiac arrest on Thursday evening in Denver as He and Suzy were en route to Florida to visit Jerry's sister. It was totally unexpected and Jerry had only mentioned he wasn't feeling up to par. Since he served as your XO at HS 10 I wanted to make you aware of his passing.

Very Respectfully, Cdr Ivan (Ike) Mortensen
