Hello,
My name is Kelly Loughlin. I was born and raised in Mishawaka, Indiana. When I was in middle school, I created a project for a national competition called National History Day about the USS Indianapolis. My grandfather is also a Navy veteran and has visited the memorial in Indianapolis. He owns a handbook from a memorial service which listed the names of crewmen, and I noticed two survivors: Kenneth Earl Mitchell and Clarence Lamar Hershberger. Kenneth is originally from my hometown of Mishawaka and Clarence is from a nearby town called Elkhart. I did not want to pass up the extraordinary opportunity of survivors living so close to me to pay my respects to them and thank them for their service. I could not find them in my local phonebook or online, so if anyone has any contact information or knowledge of their passing, it would be greatly appreciated.
I can be reached at loughlinkelly@yahoo.com
Thank you in advance, and thank you to all veterans for your sacrifices.
