Morris Stischer

Earlier this month I drove down to Houston and attended the Veterans Day ceremony hosted by the Galveston Naval Museum.  I was especially interested in touring the World War II submarine preserved there because my maternal grandfather Morris Stischer served as a U.S. Navy Fireman First Class on a submarine back in the early 1930s.  By coincidence on that same road trip, I was given an old photograph of him standing between two of his fellow sailors.
