Two WWII Navy veterans on same ship at same time, living in South Jersey, to meet soon
Simon and George were on USS Savannah in January 1945 when they escorted President Roosevelt on USS Quincy to the Yalta Conference. I recently met George and we discovered that he and my father were on the same ship at the same time. Neither knew the other. They hope to meet on Veterans' Day.
