I served as MGen Ray Murray's Aide during period 1963-64 when he was CG, MCRD PISC. Attached in the 188th Birthday Message and Mess Hall Menu. Since the 10th fell on a Sunday the recruits celebrated the birthday on Saturday, 9 November that year.
MGen Murray was an outstanding Marine in all respects and I was honored to be mentored by him on a daily basis for an entire year. What an awesome privilege and memorable experience, both professionally and personally.
