★★★ Memorial Monday ★★★
LT Jay Williamson, USN '86 was lost on March 21, 1991 when the P-3 Orion aircraft he was aboard collided with another over the Pacific Ocean about 60 miles from San Diego. Twenty-six other men -- the full crews of both aircraft -- were also killed.
A native of Moore, Oklahoma, according to his Lucky Bag biography "Jay decided he didn't want to waste his keen mind and sharp wit on academics. So, he searched for a sport . . . 150's took him and handed him an N-star . . . his other sport handed him a "black" one."
"He was the best friend a man could have on this earth," said one of his childhood friends.
Jay was survived by his wife, two children, parents, his brother, and two sisters.
