Julian Greer '27, was commanding officer of Fleet Air Wing 6 when the PB4Y patrol plane he was aboard crashed in Washington on January 28, 1953.
A portion of his entry in the Lucky Bag reads: "Although a star athlete in his home state, June, after trying lacrosse for a year, decided to take part in the Radiator Club meetings, and any day after drill he could be heard saying, "How about a little game tonight?""
June is always ready to help anyone less savvy, and would do anything for a friend. His winning smile and hearty friendship will make a place for him in the Service."
Have been unable to find any of his wartime experiences, but following graduation he was aboard USS Pennsylvania (BB 38) before beginning flight training in early 1929. Prior to the war he served in various squadrons on the west coast and in the Territory of Hawaii.
"June" was survived by his wife, mother, two sisters, and a brother.
