Wikipedia, March 22, 2019 (Private First Class David Kenyon Webster (2 June 1922 - 9 September 1961) was an American soldier, journalist and author; born in New York City; service branch: United States Army; His interest in sharks led him to write a book on the subject entitled Myth and Maneater: The Story of the Shark. However, Webster's interest in aquatics eventually may have led to his demise, as he was lost at sea while shark fishing off the coast of Santa Monica on September 9, 1961)
