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.

A Pearl Harbor Survivor Dies at 101: Alton Lee Stone


ALTON LEE STONE, 101

Died July 19, 2018, 4 days short of his 102nd birthday in Monroe, North Carolina.  He was born July 23, 1916, and grew up in Broadway, N.C..

He and his younger brother James joined the Navy and both survived Pearl Harbor.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find out any specifics about their experiences or where they were during the attack.
