Ramona Robertson a MarForPac treasure passes
Ramona Robertson, served 17 Generals at MarForPac.
Ramona loved my daughter and nephew and and coached yours truly on all the style and form he lacked. She proofed many of my third rate attempts to be a writer. Tom Prentice placed a brick in Ramona’s honor at the Pacific War Memorial – the Iwo Jima sculpture at the entrance to MCBH at Kaneohe.
We loved her. Leathernecks loved her. MarForPac Marines treasured her.
She was the corporate memory bank whose knowledge, wit and style transcended and offset the short duration Marines served at Camp Smith – Hawaii.
Semper Fidelis Leatherneck Lady!
