Hi Mark,
I'm seeking information about a crew member of the Grant by the last name of Steinart, GM 1/c.
He came aboard my ship the USS SC 1266 in the latter part of 1944. The Grant was damaged in Oct.
and why he was transferred to my SC was beyond us, must have been some kind of foul-up in the paper
work somewhere along the line. He wasn't aboard for very long, maybe a month or two. Later on I ran
into him on the street in San Diego in 1945, he had made Chief GM by then. Do you have any information
about him? If you do I would like to get in touch with him if it is possible, he was a good guy.
Thanks,
Gene Brick, GM2
