My Sherlock Paradise Blog Partner sent this to me a couple of days ago.
This was the reason we started talking about the post that I moved to the top from 7-3-2008. We were talking about "Swede."
Of course, I had forgotten that I even had posted the "Paradise Trivia" post, but Sherlock has a memory of an elephant.
His email . . . .
Is this the John Loreg Jr. from Paradise? Did they also call him Swede?

After discussion with Sherlock, Dan Hoisington and me, Millard said that John Jr's parents were John and Gertrude so we all agree that this is the obituary for the John Loreg, Jr that we know.
And . . . to qualify our conclusion, Sherlock found this link from the
Victoria Advocate - Victoria, Texas - Dec. 11, 1940.

Yes, John joined the Navy - as the obituary stated.
