| Message: | I served with the Captain aboard the Menhaden from its commissioning in Manitowoc til it was decommissioned in Mare Island. I was one of the original officers aboard. As a result, I knew the Captain well and I can remember many little talks that we had. After the war we occasionally visited because my son went to Northern Michigan University. I also knew Kirby. I will miss the Skipper but will always remember him, plus our entire original crew.

| Message: | I first met Capt. McClintock around 1965 when he was the dinner speaker at a Subvets of WWII meeting in Frankfort, MI. He was from Marquette where I was from so we had much in common.
He was not an individualist. He respected his comrades and always remembered those from the U.P. who served.
I remember staying in his home along with Subvet Warren Nelson when we were envolved in the ELF Program. His memory remains at the top of the list of Submariners who served during WWII.
He was always a warrior. I recall he drove to a meeting at Midland (Michigan) in a blinding snowstorm and he was the only one that showed up for the meeting.
Everyone of us Submariners have a special memory of him & these are a few of mine as I reflect about Capt. David McClintock.
