From the March 12, 2017, KPBS by Susan Murphy.
Ray Chavez turned 105 on March 10, 2017. He was born in San Bernardino, California, on March 10, 1912, and enjoying his old age at the beach and even working out at a local gym twice a week.
He was on the minesweeper USS Condor that fateful morning and wouldn't talk about it for fifty years after the war.

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.
