Sailor of the Cruise R. E. LINDSAY LINDSEY was born in Richmond, Va., 1940. He at- tended John Marshall High School, in Richmond when he decided to seek employment in the outer world. He joined Babcock and Phillips Corp., where he worked as a stock clerk for six years. On May 30th, 1963 he enlisted in the Navy at Richmond, Va. After attending Boot Camp at Great Lakes, he was assigned to the U.S. Ceremonial Guard, Washington, D.C. for a period of one year. In 1964 he was transferred to Argentia, Newfoundland as assistant Navy postal clerk. In March 1966 he was transferred to the USS BETELGUSE (AK 260) as postal clerk. LINDSEY has demonstrated those qualities of unsel- fishness and extensive motivation to perform above and beyond the call of duty that make an outstanding sailor. Through his tireless efforts to get the mail he has restricted himself to very little liberty. The MAUNA LOA, and the Navy will loose a very valu- able member in May, 1967 when he goes to seek his own in civi lion life.
