Here are the first two audio files of my grandfather talking about his PT experience:
1. Joining Squadron 23
2. To the Pacific with PT 285
These were recorded in 2010 when he was 93. There are a few names and numbers that are misremembered or misspoken. When I get around to transcribing these I'll be able to note those; it's a bit hard to do anything like that with audio presentations. The main one in this set is where he refers to the Colombia River, which must have been the Magdalena.
