The reference in his March 68-July 68 fitrep is probably a letter of appreciation. It turns out that it was from the Ambassador to New Zealand and the Gridley made a stop in Wellington for a Battle of the Coral Sea celebration. The guy does have an interesting political background which matches Kerry's. I downloaded the following description from the John F. Henning Center for International Labor Relations (UC Berkeley)

...John F. Henning, former Ambassador to New Zealand, Undersecretary of Labor during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, Director of the California State Department of Industrial Relations, former Regent of the University of California, and Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO from 1970 to 1996. Henning believes passionately in the cause of global unionism, and is well-known for his advocacy for racial and economic justice.

I was referring to the letter in is file from the mysterious Kenneth D Clements who happens to be a ppsychotherapist but whose licesne was after Kerry went into the navy and who may be dead now altho he has a phone number I will check out.
