| Stan Jennings, who Dot met in 1944, was one of her first, serious boyfriends. Stan was serving as a Merchant Marine, Seaman 2nd Class, in 1945, on the USS Cleveland. He came from Waterloo, Iowa.
Sis recalled Stan: “I remember [Stan] telling us about the Sullivan brothers, who also lived in Waterloo, and were his neighbors. The brothers, all five, were on the same ship when it sanked. A movie was made about their lives and I believe a ship was named in their honor. As you may already know, after this event, they did not put brothers together on any ship.”
