The father of the Brown Water Navy, and the creator of the SEALs passed away. I had the privilege of interviewing Roy Boehm at a UDT/SEAL Museum reunion several years ago — he kept calling me a "Blankethead" after he found out I was former Army — and he was a tough, intelligent, man's man, an honorific much unused today.
[I'll post some of the interview, which now resides at the UDT/SEAL Museum in Ft. Pierce, later this week]
That's all I'll say because his wife, Susan, wanted to adhere to his wishes of keeping it low key.
Fair winds, Roy.
