This was the last reunion my Father/best friend attended. I was suppose to go with him on the next reunion. He passed onto holy ground on Nov 20 1997. I was raised with war stories, not nursery tales, at bedtime every night. He was my hero and friend, and not a day goes by that I don’t think of him. Shipmates called him Irish from Chicago and boy were they right, he had a wee bit of the blarney in him at all times. I am very honored to be the daughter of one of the men on the Great Sammy B.

Can anyone tell me if Wilho Akexander (Bill) Kaasinen served on this ship?
