A number of us attended Erv’s 97th birthday party. As most of you know, Erv is a Pearl Harbor Survivor as well as surviving another ship being sunk and a third severely damaged. Fred Apgar brought the cake and Erv is cutting it. Erv has been a VFW Member for over 70 years which has to put him into rarified company in VFW. Erv hasn’t been able to make the meetings so it was good to see him. I stopped by a couple of weeks ago and the receptionist said Erv is a popular guy so apparently a few of you are making it over there as well. If anyone wants his address, let me know. I don’t feel particularly good about putting it on this newsletter which will be posted online. However, Erv will always welcome his “shipmates” (regardless of your actual service) so feel free to see him.
