Long-time volunteer and NHF memberCaptain Ted Bronson, USN (ret.) showed Admiral Harris around the Ready Room Theater, modeled on a VA-46 ready room from USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) and containing actual chairs from that great ship. Captain Michael Boyle, Executive Assistant to Admiral Harris, has a special connection to Captain Bronson and the Ready Room. Captain Boyle’s father, Commander Ron Boyle, was the commanding officer of VA-46 aboard the Kennedy when Bronson served as his Executive Officer in 1974. Bronson then fleeted up to CO from 1975-1976.
