Documentary maker asking for World War II ship building stories from Illinois

A documentary maker’s story about two veterans could pick up some details about World War II life from Seneca. Kyle Olson says the story began with a retired LST—landing ship tank—Navy man wanting to meet someone he served with.
 
 
He’s putting together his program from the men’s reunion in Missouri. Olson also wants to hear from people in the Seneca area who can talk about LST production. And if he can raise about $9,000 to finish production, that would help too. There’s information about how to help with both at “www dot last signal movie dot com”.
 
Two long retired Navy men had a reunion seven decades after they served on the same landing ship tank in World War II. Documentary maker Kyle Olson was there and is putting the story together for a program he hopes to put on a nationwide TV channel.
 
 
Their ship, LST 218, was built in Seneca. As he puts the documentary called The Last Signal together, Olson wants to hear from people who can tell him about Seneca’s shipyard. There is contact and contribution information at “www dot last signal movie dot com”.
