Comments: It is with sad regret that I am posting the passing of Duane "Gene" Saunders, age 76, on 3/25/2008. I had the privilage of serving with Gene on board the "Clymer" for a brief time, but really got to know him on the Black River Falls Fire Dept and Rescue squad. I made many "runs" with "Pa" as he was affectionately called here. We had a lot of stories to tell and some we kept between ourselves. Of course, Gene had many more than I, since he retired with 20 years in the Navy. He will be greatly missed by family, many friends,and shipmates. Godspeed Gene
