Ironically I got a call last Friday from a cozin, that Johns wife Stella is fading fast, she is 92.

John told me that most of the officers in the PT Boats were Ivy League types that had experience with sail boats before the war.

He has never mentioned JFK. But I will ask him about Mr. Lupa. My step father-in-laws name is Reiff Landes. Great man. I'll see him Thursday.
