To the Family of Robert Newkirk:
My deepest sympathies to each of you. While I didn't know Mr. Newkirk, we did share something in common. We both are part of a very
exclusive fraternal organization - "Brothers of the PHIN". We both are SUBMARINE SAILORS. Robert Newkirk, REST YOUR OARS, and join
you shipmates still on eternal patrol. Our Great Nation owes a lot
to men such as Robert Newkirk.
