Juan Alfonso's great piece on Jack Lewis, a person he never met. During our flight from Oahu to the Big Island and return, Juan continually picked at me about Lewis and the Corps of my day. He is bright, very articulate and certainly would have been an asset to any PA shop I ran. With no prompting on our return, he approached his PA peers suggesting his PA office at MarForPac (Camp Smith) and the KBay Marines form a CC Chapter to be named the Jack Lewis Memorial Chapter. That's initiative! Jack I think those of us concerned about the ability of today’s CCs can rest easy after reading Sgt. Juan Alfonso’s great piece on Jack Lewis, a person he never met.
