After 65 years, John Abele and family may have found their fallen father’s WWII submarine.
On NBC’s Today show at about 8:15 AM (Eastern) today, there was a short piece on Boston Scientific’s co-founder and First Chairman & Founder Chairman John Abele and his family. Most everyone here knows that John Abele always presents the Championship Chairmans Award as well as many other things that I don't know about.
The Abele family has been looking for 5 years for the grave of their father at the top of the world, the Bearing Sea off of the coast of Alaska. They were greatly aided by a Japanese historian that discovered a long lost eye witness account.
Their father Jim Abele, commanded a crew of 70 and all of them died in the USS Grunion submarine in World War II. See the related articles and NBC Nightly News video shown here (http://ori.msnbc.msn.com/id/20585124/). Scroll down to August 27 and click on "Sons find fallen father's WWII sub".
A MSNBC story link is here (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15119785/?GT1=8618)and a website concerning the search for the Grunion is here (http://www.ussgrunion.com/). Be sure to view the video that Steve W. has provided a link for below. A good story, especially for the Abele and other crewman's families.
