He was on the Hutchins at Surigao Straight. Was a plank owner in ‘42 and spent the entire war aboard that one tin can. All across the Pacific from Alaska to Australia. Until they where hit by a suicide boat at Okinawa. Then they were laid up in Seattle and that is where he met my grandmother. Not bad for a farm boy from Maine!
