He was assigned to MAG 36, 680704-690713, first
as the XO, and then as the CO, which explains the
overlap in squadrons. I don't know how to list

update form and am leaving it up to you.
Officially his cause of death was accidental
drowning, but that was caused by a heart attack.
At age 65, he finally stopped jogging every day
and started swimming laps instead.
