NSGA Sabana Seca, Puerto Rico
Narrative from Lyman 'Woody' Woodman CTOC USN (Retired)


I was a shipmate of JOHN BALL CTO1. We served together at NAVRESCEN,
MADISON, WI. I knew him before he went onto active duty.

HE IS BURIED HERE IN MADISON, WI.

John was a delightful human being..and had an easy sense of humor. I can still
see his infectuous smile. A good and decent man who loved his family, country
and the Navy.

I was proud to have known him, and privileged to have called him 'SHIPMATE'.
