Andy Doboga and his wife Rae were friends of Beth and Jack, as well as my Dad. This is a newspaper clipping that Beth forgot she had. She found it when going through pictures.
They’ve both passed, but they always talked about what good friends Andy and your dad were and that they went in the service simultaneously. – Beth
I do know Andrew Doboga spent 20 years in the service, like your Dad. I don’t know about Jean. After Andy retired from the Navy, they moved back to Lisbon until their deaths. Andy was one of the funniest men I know. He was Slovak and he and Jack shared lots of stories about their heritage and they became best friends. They were like brothers and we miss the heck out of him and Rae. – Beth
