I was thrilled to land a team ball that bore several signatures of war veterans with his placed among several combat veterans. Desiring to fully document his WWII service and his ordeal aboard the USS Helena led to a succession of discoveries showing that he could not have possibly served aboard the ill-fated cruiser.
