Wow,
I just read this man's Bio, and a few other things since the thread was posted. I'll be doing a lot more reading on this Hero quite soon.
Some of the links I found are below.

I worked for him at the USMC museum in the early 80’s.
He was a good man.
Col Brooke Nihart passed away a few months ago also; he was director of Marine Museums and the author of the Code of conduct.
