That's quite a bit of history for 1 man to go through. I regret not having known him. That kind of person, once plentiful, is a rare commodity now days. As a side note, I got to know a man who was on a escort carrier at Leyte Gulf,who survived the kamikaze attack which sank the USS St. Lo, previously named the USS Midway.The Midway name went to a Essex class carrier, and the crew grumbled about bad luck in a name change.He was friends with my parents in the 60s, when our parents all were in their best years I guess. Thanks for the reply.
