Cousin Carl Zimmerman - Cuban Missile Crisis Hero

I am enjoying a beach vacation with my cousin Carl Zimmerman in Panama City FL. During the vacation I found out he was stationed at Pensacola FL during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. He served on a spy ship that actually did surveillance during the crisis. 

Carl has homes today in Tamaqua PA and near Tampa FL. He is honored on this poster which currently hangs near Five Points in downtown Tamaqua. 

Carl and I had the same grandmother - Bertha Brouse Everhart Hontz. Our Dads were stepbrothers.
