The Men and Women in World War II from Navarro County: "O'QUINN, EUGENE G., JR.
Y 3/C (T) Eugene G. O'Quinn, son of Mrs. Emma O'Quinn, Richland, attended Mildred High School and Tyler Commercial College. Entered Navy, 1944, trained with Navy at San Diego. Has served in Cuba, Pearl Harbor, Guam, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and now on duty aboard an L.S.T. in the Pacific. Wears Pacific Ribbon with Bronze Star."
I thought of Mr. O'Quinn the other day and wondered whatever happened to him. I did a google search. This is all that turned up. I never took biology, so I was never in his class, but I did attend a short series of informal talks with him back when we were in 8th grade.
