MTCS(SS) Chester "Wayne" Brister

Post by Jeff Mathes »

I mentioned in another post the passing of MTCS(SS)Chester Brister several years ago. He was good friends with MTC(SS) Mike McDaniel. Chester checked on board the Madison as an MT1(SS) while still in overhaul in Newport News, probably in 1981. Chester's obituary is still on line at: http://files.usgwarchives.org/ga/glynn/ ... 321gob.txt
