My father was also in the Merchant Marines. One the typography classes I missed was because I was escorting him (he’s 85) to his 65th Merchant Marine Academy reunion in Kings Point, New York (class of ’44-the academy opened in ’43). During the war the Merchant Marine Academy was the only military academy that sent students into combat. They actually lost 142 midshipmen. It was an interesting trip.
