** January 30, 2017 Times of San Diego "Navy Diver Retrieved Bodies From Pearl Harbor, Dies in Escondido at age 103" by Tom McAllister.
Ken Hartle died January 24. He may have been the oldest remaining Pearl Harbor salvage diver.
He wouldn't talk about recovering bodies at Pearl Harbor, but did speak of towing unexploded torpedoes and salvaging ships.

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.
