MERRIL HUCK/HIGGINS wrote on October 29, 2009 City and State: OR Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: While working on my genealogy I requested my Dad's(Ronald E Huck) military papers as he had passed away in 1979. After boot camp he was stationed aboard the USS Jupiter from 1/8/46 -5/20/47. Then to the USS Princeton 7/3/47-7/23/48. His best friend was Ginnatasio from Boston MA. Ginny saved his life (as their story went) when some boat they were on went down. They were adrift a number of hours. They remained friends the rest of their lives. I am trying to put those pieces together. He was only 17 when he joined the Navy in 1945. Any vet's out there possibly remember him? Keywords:
