Dear Mr.Smothers, I am trying to locate information about the first submariner to win the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was born in Selma, Alabama, 29 September 1902. His name is Capt. Howard W. Gilmore. He first enlisted in the navy and then through competitive exams was awarded an appointment to the U. S. Naval Academy. He graduated from the academy in 1926. His navy history is well known. I am looking for information about his boyhood. The years prior to his entering the navy. Your assistance with this detail will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. GENE MAZZA ROSUB@AOL.COM
