1. During the latter part of World War II, brothers Henry and Murray found themselves stationed just 80 miles apart in the Pacific. Henry, who'd gone into the Navy from South Side High in 1943, was on a floating dry-dock in Guam. Brother Murray was stationed at West Field on Tinian -- the field from which the Enola Gay B29, on August 6, 1945, subsequently took off on its mission to drop the world's first atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

They met briefly in late 1944 when Henry hitched a ride on a B24 out of Guam to visit his brother. Their picture together on Tinian later appeared in the Newark Star-Ledger under a heading "Brothers Meet Overseas."
