Suzan- My father, C. Edward Sharp, worked for NY Ship for nearly 20 yrs both before and after WWII. He was in the personnel dept serving as industrial relations manager and employment manager. He left the company in 1954 [went to work for RCA which was also in Camden]. Sorry to tell you that when NY Ship closed all employment records were destroyed. -- Malcolm Schalick Sharp http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~msharp -- "Suzan P.
