I had the honor of working for Captain LeFon while I was the cryptologic officer on board USS CONSTELLATION. He was a superb officer and a magnificent leader, and he always took the time to give serious attention to whatever matter was on the mind of a certain LTJG. This passage epitomizes him perfectly.LCDR Richard Bensingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108340941503318870.post-59449096781177766002012-03-16T12:18:08.607-04:002012-03-16T12:18:08.607-04:00Very sad.

He loved his old cars -- an E-type jag and a 912 (911 predecessor).<br /><br />Carroll, we'll miss you.David Marquethttp://leader-leader.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108340941503318870.post-55127567282167577382012-03-10T17:20:59.795-05:002012-03-10T17:20:59.795-05:00Thanks J,

After reading his story on your blog, I feel a sudden loss to the great Naval community we all share.<br /><br />I also would like to convey my deepest sympathy to his family for their tremendous loss.<br /><br />Sincerely, OLDNAVETAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108340941503318870.post-70091526990331175942012-03-09T17:21:15.841-05:002012-03-09T17:21:15.841-05:00Thank you for saving this amazing piece, as the &q...Thank you for saving this amazing piece, as the "more" portion of his blog page truncates it.
