From the Dec. 4, 2014, Daily Athenium (West Virginia University) by Courtney Gaffo.
Lt. James Downing, 101, was postmaster on the USS West Virginia the day the Japanese attacked. Afterwards, he memorized the names of ever crew member killed or wounded and wrote notes to their families and explained what happened to their sons.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
