John Murray and his partner Dennis Trettel, learned how to forecast the weather's effects on the operations of their clients in the Chicago area and were the first to use the color code to indicate weather severity
Locally in Chicago, his company had accounts with the City of Chicago, Commonwealth Edison, Ravinia, the Cubs and Brach's Candy company.
John Murray was born in Chicago. While attending Loyola University, he joined the Army Air Forces meteorology division and was sent to the University of Michigan where he received a bachelor's degree, specializing in micrometeorology.
I was unable to find out if he was one of the meteoroligists who played such an important role in D-Day. Perhaps he was.

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.
