    3. Thanks for this information. One of the bits of information that we most like to find is information about military experiences. I hope others will send me information about the service experiences of the people in their family.

(Toby) Bunker was a Navy vet of WW2, present at Pearl Harbor, serving aboard the destroyer USS SELFRIDGE (DD-357) until she was torpedoed in a night action with the Japanese navy during the Solomons campaign in 1943. He helped save the ship and get her back to the U.S. Transferred off to a new ship, a seaplane tender (USS ST. GEORGE), he was aboard her when she was kamikazed during the Okinawa campaign. He survived that one too. Though he was always "Uncle" Toby to me, he was actually my first cousin once removed (my mother's first cousin).
