Obituary

Jun 19, 1988

Miami, FL, USA, Miami Herald, The (FL) - June 19, 1988
Deceased Name: JAMES HOUGHTON, MEDICAL RESEARCHER
The commanding officer of the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory was killed in a head-on automobile accident along the Gulf Beach Highway.
Capt. James O. Houghton, 45, had commanded the laboratory since June 1985, and was scheduled to leave his job July 1 to work at the Naval Medical Command in Washington, D.C. Capt. Houghton's car collided with another Thursday night near Pensacola.
"We're all in shock," said Lt. Cmdr. Tom Fleischman, the laboratory's director of program development. "He had to be about the best boss I ever worked for. He had a tendency to say that when he found talent, he got the hell out of people's way and let them work."
Capt. Houghton, born in Littlefield, Texas, was a graduate of Union College in Nebraska and earned his medical degree at Loma Linda University, Calif. He interned at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital in 1969 and was designated a naval flight surgeon the next year.
He served with the First and Third Marine Air Wings in Santa Ana, Calif., DaNang, Vietnam, and Futenma, Okinawa, and had been senior medical officer aboard the USS Oriskany and the USS Midway.
Capt. Houghton had conducted research in acceleration physiology at the Naval Air Development Center in Warminister, Pa. He also had worked as a special assistant for aerospace medicine at the Naval Air Systems Command in Washington, D.C.
