Ed & Jack Hunter

The kid on the left is my father Ed Hunter (1911-1988) and on the right is one of his little brothers, Jack Hunter (1914-1990). I think the picture was taken about 1918. About 23 years later, on this date in 1941 was the Invasion of Pearl Harbor. Jack is a Pearl Harbor Survivor. He spent a career in the Navy and earned the rate of Chief Petty Officer.. One time from a PT Boat he pulled aviator Eddie Rickenbacker out of the sea (Pacific) and is credited with saving his life. At time I think what would become Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta was then called The Eddie Rickenbacker Air Strip. I wonder if Jack and Eddie discussed Marietta. After he retired from the Navy he moved back to Marietta and worked his second career at Lockheed. He and his wife Ruby was known as a driving force of helping handicapped children. Jack first married Sarah Nell Collins, 3 August 1941, (less than a month after the Invasion of Pearl Harbor). secondly he married Ruby Ruby Langely, 3 April 1952.
