Thanks Cupjo it was a real adventure ,a privilege and a honor.When I matched the initials to the name then looked him up in the alumni locator's i almost fell over.Congressional metal of honor 3 bronze stars 3 silver stars,purple heart,prisoner of war ,survivor of a submarine sinking,retired rear admiral.I did fall over when he answered the phone and was still married coming up on their 50th wedding anniversary.A book just came out about his journey called " Escape From The Deep "by Kershaw that tell a heroin story.real good reading. Thanks for looking!
