A personal story on William F. Catron EN2(SS) given by Jim Barnes

Subject: Catron

Jim,

This is my first installment, take a look and see if this is something you can use. This is William F. Catron, EN-2(SS) on the day he left the Diodon for discharge. You would have to know Catron, he was the guy that told us "don't ride a rickshaw in Hong Kong, and the first guy I saw on the beach was Catron in a rickshaw. 

[Back home] He had his wife in Balboa Naval Hospital to give birth to one of their children.  He told the doctor to sew her up so the wider she spread her legs the tighter it would get. The doctor threw him out of the hospital.
