  1. So sorry to hear of the passing of my dear Navy friend. Pat and I served together at HRMC (Human Resource Management Center) Norfolk, VA from 1972-1975. Pat and I an other Naval personal were part of the, then, ground breaking program to help Naval personnel and their families adjust to living in different cultures as the created additional naval bases in host national countries.
