I may have said this previously. I went through Submarine School wuth Al Ullman during the latter half of 1941. I knew Al quite well. We had many pizzas & beer at the old VICTORY CAFE in New London on weekends. After finishing the school I was sent to San Diego then to Pearl Harbor. Al stayed in the Groton area waiting, while the new GRUNION was being finished. Never saw him again after Oct 1941. I was 17 at that time and he may have been 19. A great guy, We had some great times during that short 3 months at Sub School together. - G.J. Herold
