I met Catp. Zeb while helping with the Cavalla restoration. When the CHF was founded, there were some bad feelings amongst some of the initial volunteers, but Zeb kept a steady hand and never turned anyone away who wanted to help. The first few months were pretty lean with little funding, but Zeb went out and almost singlehandedly raised over $150,000 during the first year. Over time, he was directly responsible for over $500,000 in funds raised and who knows how much indirectly. I always enjoyed my time spent with Zeb and he truly loved Submarines and Submariners. His passing is a loss - I salute him. Jeff Morris
