I wanted you all to see this. Waynesboro should have a plaque up somewhere for this ship and the man it was named for. The ship no longer exists but it stayed afloat for a long, long time. Here's the URL: http://metalab.unc.edu/hyperwar/USN/ships/DE/DE-331_Koiner.html Thanks, Lynn, I had found this but not the man. Anybody in the area know these people? Norma
