My
dad,
Robert
W.
Arnts,
was
born
in
Sayre,
Bradford
County,
PA,
and
was
married
to
his
wife
Elizabeth
for
54
years
upon
his
passing
on
June
19,
1997
at
age
76.
He
served
on
Attu
and
Adak
with
the
U.
S.
Navy
beginning
in
the
fall
of
1943
for
about
18
months.
He
was
an
engineer
and
manager
at
Ingersoll-Rand
Co.,
Phillipsburg,
NJ
for
43
years,
retiring
in
1981.
He
often
talked
about
one
buddy,
Wesley
Frick,
who
called
my
mother
shortly
after
my
dad
died.
I
have
a
photo
album
with
many
great
photos
of
dad's
days
on
Attu.
Most
of
these
photos
are
not
captioned.
The
photo
of
Lt.
Wolff
and
Gunner Maddon was taken while he was on Adak during WWII.
