I was a gunners mate in the U.S. Naval Armed Guard Service from 1942 to 1946. On January 4, 1944, I was assigned to the S.S. Emma Willard on its maiden voyage. Before departing, we were visited by students and instructors from the Emma Willard school to view the ship that was named for their school's namesake, and also to see us off.
Unfortunately,because I was on five different ships during the war, I do not remember the names
of the crew with whom I served on the S.S. Emma Willard. I served on the Emma Willard from 1/4/1944 until 8/30/2944.
Sorry I couldn't be of any help, but I'll be happy to answer any questions if I can, if you care to e-mail me.
