Our friend Laurie Wasilewski (daughter of CA-69 plankowner Frank Wasilewski) sent me this terrific clipping from the old Morning Record of Wallingford, CT. As I read it, I was struck by the fact that her grandmother had four sons serving simultaneously in the War. Like the millions of other Service Mothers in this country, she must have lived in perpetual fear of The Telegram, or in the case of the loss of multiple sons, The Visit from an officer with bad news . . .
The Wasilewski boys all came home from the War.
