LaFreniere visited his mother Elizabeth on a 30-day leave and was then sent to Greece; Isabel LaFreniere had a 15-day leave before returning to South Carolina; and Jerry LaFreniere visited Musette and Vernon LaFreniere before returning to Fort Story, Virginia. The notice also said Brian Gallagher and Richard Ryan were home on leave, identifying Ryan as Dorothy and Art Ryan’s son and Lawrence Malloy’s grandson.
