“Back in 1944, a telegram came to Boys Town informing Father Flannagan that the submarine had been sunk and the whereabouts of Patrick had been unknown. For many years we just waited,” said Thomas Lynch, director of community programs for Boys Town.
On Feb. 13, three days before the official announcement, families got an email from Charles Hinman, the director of education for theHinman attached another letter from the Naval History and Heritage Command regarding the discovery of the USS Albacore. The letter said with the help of a Japanese professor from the University of Tokyo, the USS Albacore was identified.
”It is our hope that the known location of Albacore provides some measure of closure to you and your family as you continue to grieve the loss of your loved one.”Shirley said she felt “shock” after hearing of the confirmation. “My next thought was for my grandmother and grandfather. My grandmother lived 40 years not knowing where he was and what happened to him. They always had that hope that they would know where he was. They know now, as I said, they’re all in heaven rejoicing now. But they didn’t know. So I wish we could’ve told them then,” Shirley described.
