    Former altar boy Frank Bertino was drafted into the army in 1942 and was called upon for that role during Christmas mass while in training. While waiting with his unit in England, sudden orders came through to pack up and move out, right in the middle of another Christmas preparation. By sheer luck, he missed boarding the ill-fated SS Leopoldville. (This interview made possible with the support of CHARLES A. KOFFLER.)
