Plot:

I just recently ran across the name of another survivor of the Tuscania, Fred F. Metcalf. He was a forestry associate of my father's in Kalispell, MT. He joined the 20th Engineers and presumably served with my father. They both returned to Kalispell and to work in the forestry service. We grew up with the Metcalf children, so we would be interested in
information about him, too.
