It has been a busy quarter. The real world has required my attention to complete a project I've been involved in, and I've had precious little time to dedicate to the site. I've kept up with the postings and communications, but any effort to push the site forward has been on hold.
Recently, however there has been conversation regarding our shipmates that have passed on, regarding who is missing and who is deceased. Until now, my practice was to not post information regarding deceased shipmates until there was some 'official' or 'formal' confirmation, such as an obituary, public record, or notifcation from a family member. This was primarily to protect friends and family from the inadvertent or erroneous announcement of someone's demise.
However, given the difficulty we have been having confirming those reported as deceased, I have added a section to the Eternal Patrol page titled "Reported - Not Yet Confirmed". The hope is that by making these names available, shipmates with more information can contribute and either clear the name, or move it to the rightful place on Eternal Patrol.
I'm asking that each of you stop by the Eternal Patrol page and check the list - if you have any confirming information, please let me or Mark Gray know.
It is a somber task I ask of you, sobering, and yet necessary.
It is a task worthy of our shipmates. Honor their memory, review the Eternal Patrol lists, and let us know what you know.
