I was the OIC at the NAVRADRECFAC inside the "dinosaur cage" at Sabana Seca and used to participate in 10K and Marathon races around the island with John Ball. Both he and his wife Patty used to stop by our quarters for coffee, etc. He was a great guy and I believe the gym there was renamed in his honor.
