- Bernie Dorin contributes:
Stu (originally named Seymour) was the first of the Dorin brothers to go to war. He enlisted in what was then called the Army Air Corps soon after graduation from high school in June 1942. Stu was by then a very able auto mechanic, but the military needed radio operators and he had the requisite aptitude. After radio operator school he received gunnery training and was assigned to a B-25 crew with whom he flew many missions until the end of the war.
It is my belief that when Stu returned to civilian life he wanted a quiet life. I think he had seen too much of the war. He returned to auto mechanics, met and married Margie, and settled into sought after quiet life.
They moved to Long Beach, California with two of Margie’s three children from a prior marriage. Stu died at age 34. much too young! Shortly before Stu died, the youngest son, Louis, was killed in an automobile accident while driving to the hospital to visit Stu. Several months later Margie underwent surgery and unexpectedly died. Hal, the romantic in the family, said she died of a broken heart. Why not?
I have lost track of their daughter Sylvia. My last knowledge of her was that she was married, and, I think, living in the Midwest. The eldest son. Francis, is a doctor, practicing in Galesburg, Illinois. I will always believe that Stu and Margie were good to and for each other.
