BIOGRAPHY: GEDCOM from Ed Suder to T.Mason; Dec 1998; ; Notes: Florence died of Pneumonia and also had Emphysema.
Pearl had a tragic life. He was orphaned at an early age and then adopted by an Aunt and Uncle. He left home at the age of 15 and had no further contact with his family. He disappeared in 1918 and after 5 years of absence, was declared legally dead in 1923 by the F.B.I. as having met foul play.
At the age of 10, Carl and his family moved from Fort Worth to Dallas. He was the eldest of 4 children (2 brothers, 1 sister). His father owned and operated a furniture and upholstery business for many years. His mother, at last report, was still alive at 98 years of age, living in a senior's residence in the San Francisco Bay area. Carl met his future wife, Marie (Dimple) at Church Orchestra practice (He played the trombone and Marie the violin). After enlisting in the Navy in 1942, Carl was sent to Boot Camp and then to Chicago to the Hospital Training Corps. He was then assigned to the Aircraft carrier "U.S.S. Guadacanal" as a Chief Petty Officer in the sick bay. The ship was assigned to the North Atlantic to patrol for German submarines. The big day came when a German submarine was spotted and captured by Captain Gallery. In all, 65 German seamen were taken on board along with their commander who was seriously wounded. Carl treated the commander and the other wounded men. The submarine was taken back to the U.S. for study. An interesting footnote is that this submarine was towed to Chicago and placed on display in the Chicago museum of Science and Technology, where the author of this book toured it in 1991. The vessel was in remarkably good shape and was well constructed as is typical of German engineering. It is the only German submarine to have survived W.W.II (The rest were all sunk by the Allies). Also, this submarine was used to film the German made movie - "Das Boot" that chronicled life aboard a German submarine during WWII. Carl was discharged in 1945 but remained in the Naval reserve for 5 years. The family moved to Oakland, California in 1955 where Carl and his brother, Ben, started a metal etching and fabrication business. He was also active in his professional association., serving as president of the M.E.F.A. from 1965 to 1966. He sold the business and retired in 1975 and then moved to Sacramento. He served as president of the Oakland Lion's club from 1967 to 1968 and taught an adult Bible class for several years and also served two terms on his church board and made two cross country trips from California to the East coast and Canada and one trip into old Mexico.
