Local WWII veteran joined by friend for special film viewing at Marge’s

Sid Lenger

Sid Lenger is one of only four men left who served in the South Pacific on LST 651 in WWII. One of the other remaining men is his friend David “Goldie” Goldsboro who was the “loader” on Lenger’s 20mm gun. Lenger was the pointer.

Goldsboro, who resides in Illinois, has accepted Lenger’s invitation to come to Marge’s Donut Den, 1751 28th St. SW, and join Lenger for the showing of his video “Sid in WWII on LST 651.” While serving on the LST 651, Lenger had a video camera with him.
The LST 4, similar to the LST that Sid and Goldie served on.

Sid Lenger has great respect and admires Goldsboro, and has said “Goldie was the  best ‘Loader’ in the Navy and was responsible for saving many lives.”

Come and join us at Marge’s on July 11 at  2 p.m. as Goldie and Sid renew the special relationship they developed while serving together on LST 651 during WWII.
