Don’s father and mother, Isabelle, both served in the hospital corps in the Navy throughout World War II. His mother taught Navy carrier pilots how to use oxygen masks for high altitude missions. His father served on the famous and highly decorated heavy cruiser, the USS New Orleans, in many battles including Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, Midway, Eastern Solomons and Tassafaronga. During the night Battle of Tassafaronga in November 1942, the New Orleans engaged the famous “Tokyo Express” troop convoy which was supplying troops and supplies to block the United States Marine invasion of Gaudalcanal. During the battle, the New Orleans was hit and cut nearly in half by an enemy submarine torpedo, losing her bow and two hundred brave seamen. The ship travelled backwards to port in Sidney, Australia and was later repaired and returned to action. Following the war, Don’s father was stationed first in Newport Rhode Island and subsequently transferred to the Brooklyn Naval Yard when Don was less than a year old and the family bought a home in northern New Jersey, where Don was raised.
