To a U.S. Naval Officer I greatly respected. Commander Donovan was one of the finest officers I have ever had the privilege to serve with. We spent many watches in combat on the GW doing what we had to do and laughing when we got a chance to. Sir, you will be missed but not forgotten.

CDR Donovan,
I used to work for a Navy Officer by the name of William Donovan and I am not sure that he is the one I used to work with in VP-1.
My prayers and thoughts go out to your family.
