Notes for THOMAS OSSIE SALTZ from Connie Gray:
He was called Tom and was a huge man. He was 6 foot 5 inches tall.
Information (2004) from Dorothy Raburn and Leo Goff: Tom lived in Lamar, Miss. while married to Iva. They were married in 1960. Tom was in the merchant marines during WWII. The Germans sank one of the ships he was on; the crew escaped to lifeboats. The Germans told them they didn't want to kill them - just to sink the ship. The Germans told them which direction to row to the closest point of land. The crew members were in lifeboats for 3 days before they saw land.
