Hi Tommy-

  Oh boy, it's been a long time ago and I didn't mean to imply anything 
derogatory. General Dean was not the shy retiring type and he had no trouble 
voicing his opinions  on various subjects which  sometimes conflicted with 
the opinions of others. He seemed to relish this and from time to time he 
would make the news. He was very distinctive with his "GI" haircut and his 
enthusiasm but he was in every way a gentleman. And everyone was interested 
in his opinions. 
   I met both Dean and Nimitz, another Berkeley favorite son and I would 
characterize them as two separate type individuals. Both were people you 
would like to know.
   I seems to me that Dean eventually retired to Rossmoor, a retirement 
community in Walnut Creek and gradually blended into old age obscurity.
   It was not my intention to create any kind of controversy.
