Jimmy LeFebvre came to us from a long line of French Canadians and Blackfeet Indians. He considered one of his two great life decisions joining the US Navy and serving on the sub chaser, USS Damato. His second great decision was marrying Linda Lisberg ('59). After retirement from Grumman and other work, he began making detailed model airplanes.
