Fair Winds/Following Seas: Bill Lawrence

USNA-At-Large,

  Bill Aston passes along this sad news.

  Bill Lawrence was a Navy football great and a former Supe.  He was also a POW for a long, long time.

  More details will be put out soon.

    With regrets, John Howland

 

VADM  Bill Lawrence passed away  at his home in  the Annapolis area
yesterday, December 2nd.  He was taking a routine afternoon nap and
had been planning to attend the ARMY- NAVY Game today. Bill will be
remembered by many as  a splendid  Naval Officer, an outstanding Naval
Aviator and a decorated Wartime Leader.  We in the Class of 1951 were
honored to have him as a Class President during our early years in the
Service.
