Scholarship Fund Honors Blue Wolves Squadron Aviators

摘要

The combined efforts of crew members from the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, former Blue Wolves Squadron members and the Oakland Council have helped raise more than $60,000 for a scholarship fund for the children of four Sea Control Squadron 35 aviators killed in a plane crash near Iwo Jima last summer. Oakland Council President Robert Castle, who set the scholarship fund up under the council's domain after it was established in San Diego, said he hopes the fund eventually will reach $100,000. He was on hand in San Diego Dec. 10 to meet with the surviving spouses of the aviators and their children and distribute the contributions made to the scholarship fund. Sea Control Squadron 35, also known as the Blue Wolves, is based at Naval Air Station North Island.
