John Abele & Family may have found their fallen father’s WWII submarine.

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. Scroll down to August 27 and click on "Sons find fallen father's WWII sub".

A MSNBC story link is here and a website concerning the search for the Grunion is here. 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.
