From the September 2014, Veterans Site "Tea With Einstein; Coffee With Oppenheimer; His Service in WWII: This Veteran Looks Back On his Life As He Turns 105."
On August 10, 2014, Carroll Dick will celebrate his 105th birthday with family and friends. He worked on the atom bomb for the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos, New Mexico, a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and married for 69 years.
He currently resides in Chesterfield Township, Michigan after growing up in Michigan.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
