To: null and void

Maj Bob Swayne was the Provost Marshal as I recall when we moved there in 64. Don’t know how long he had been there at the time. I do know that the Marines were extending his station indefinitely because he had cancer and the corps saw no reason to transfer him. He died while we were there. A very dedicated handball player. His kids were our age so I know he wasn’t very old.

Do you remember the 3 old big houses that were directly across from the base commander’s quarters? All built about 1900. The one opposite the general’s quarters was ours. Went back about 1999 with my dad before he died and it was still there.
