SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER

Comments: My dad CDR Albert Greenleaf Boren USNR-R passed away today. His nickname was "Buck". He was 91 and spoke fondly of his time in the Navy. He was retired longer (43 years) than on active duty (27 years). I will miss him eventhough he was seldom around. After he retired he had a wonderlust and could never settle down. God bless.
